What the hell is this? Help

I will get a picture tommorrow, but ive owned 4 sn95s and the one I bought yesterday has cord that comes up from right by the battery tray, it looks like an extension cord. Its a three pronged plug, it is in the factory loom though? Never seen one like it. Any ideas? :dontknow:

block heater or battery charger.

my guess

It just goes down into the factory wire through, down by the k member. I noticed it today when i took the battery out. Just found some info, turns out its a block heater, lol how wierd.

lucky you lol.

why a block heater on a Mustang? I guess I'm of the mindset that Mustangs shouldnt be driven in the winter....

Block heaters are almost always options on ALOT of models, they are pretty cool things. They warm up your block by replacing either one of the freeze plugs or in its own little "housing" I would like one keeps it at a constant temp for the cooler mornings OR at the track you can just start it up run it for a shorter amount of time and then you have an ideal temp no more rest runs and that BS you know you drive 300ft and your at x deg already. Kinda handy. Just need the blankets for the tires and your golden

Good point. Never thought of it in that perspective, really.

I've got a block heater in my car. 'Didn't ever think about it, then again it was sold in ND.

I'd love to have a block heater on my cobalt. I hate wasting gas for it to warm up.

Wow, I have only seen 2 cars in my lifetime WITHOUT block heaters, heck my mustang has one, I don't drive it in winter though...

 

[atlanticblue98]

mine was sold in Virginia and mine doesnt have a heater, granted it was only up north for 6 months im still surprised it doesnt have one

 

[mikey94gt]

My car was sold in New York without a block heater. Ive never had a car with a block heater.

 

[snoball]

Thats funny you guys say this because this is the first one Ive EVER seen.
