Confidence votes 10. I had one of these when I lived in Wyoming. A freeze plug in your engine block is replaced with a heater plug that keeps the block warm so your fluids don't freeze. There is what looks like an extension cord you use to plug the block heater into an outlet.t is on the block on the passengers side above the starter. If it has a cord on it the cord will be behind the bumper on the passengers side. the block heater is standard but â¦ the cord was a cold weather option. If no cord you can buy one from a ford dealer. 7 people found this useful.
