Ok, I already feel like a moron for having to post this, but does anyone know exactly where the block heater cord is ?

I've hunted high n low and it's probably staring me right in the face.

Well .. .. .. Of course. Only after I post the thread I see the similar threads below.

I think I have a pretty good idea where to look, thanks guys.

did you find it?
Ive not looked yet, but if you did... save me some time
:)
lol

there's the possibility that you don't have one....did you get the option for it?

i have the option and i've tried finding it a few times in the last 2+ years. i read every thread here. some say it's on the driver's side close to the fuse boxes, some say it's on the passenger side next to the firewall.

wherever it is, i haven't found it yet. and while i don't live in alaska and will probably never need to use it, i would like to goddamn know where this cord is i paid $40 for.

damnit.

You'll find it on the passanger side, tucked under the plastic valve cover, wrapped and tied with a twist tie. I found mine instantly last year, and have assisted with three other chrysler vehicles at work this year- and they are all in the exact same spot.

^^ i'm gonna check tonight.

I just found mine tied up under the passenger side plastic valve cover also.

mine is toward the back of the engine on the driver's side. it is close to the firewall.

I was told they don't make a block heater for the 6.1?

Yes, I did find it.

Turns out all Canadian SRT Cherokee's are factory equipped with Block heaters.


Under the hood, passenger side, gently but firmly lift the black cosmetic cover.

look towards the middle of the valve cover and there should be a nice neat black

cord just sitting on top of the coils. Have a pair of wire cutters handy for the zip tie.

The cord is about 24" in length, so it won't reach the front of your SRT, so I just neatly

ran it to the passenger side of the windshield right beside hood hinge.

Once it warms up a tad outside, I would suggest running an extension cord to where ever

you decide you want the block heater plug to be permanently to avoid future frustration.

No ****! I going to kill my dealer! It's been -35 for 2 weeks and I've had a block heater all along.

From factory, or you can buy the Mopar accessory, or you can simply buy the cord and heater via parts.

I just installed one in my Jeep last night. A total pita but I wanted the option so ordered up the parts and installed it. Had to remove the front wheel, fender liner (partial) and starter, and it is still a very tight fit as the exhaust pipe is also in the way.

Parts:

Mopar Engine Block Heater kit 82208937 MSRP $73.20

or Mopar parts:

1 Ea. 56044577AB Cord, MSRP $38.75
1 Ea. 5149055AA Heater, engine block, MSRP $40.05
1 Ea. 6501373 Screw, MSRP $3.65

god i hate my dealer!

god i hate my dealer!
......Why?

Because he told me that it did not come with one, and there was no way I could get one. They just didn't make them for the SRT. My own fault for thinking that they new anything about what they are selling!

As far as I know, every vehicle built for the Canadian market has a block heater installed as factory equipment.

I have a block heater and my cord is on the passenger side firewall. It's gray though, not black.

You would think the dealer would know that eh!

Especially a dealer in Alberta that sees -35 yearly. Which dealer? :)

Williams Chrysler in Ft Mcmurray!

kokanee13, did you ever find your block heater cord? I also live in Fort Mac and am having problems finding mine. Any help would be great as it is starting to get colder!!

Mine was on the drivers side, if you want Fortmacsrt8 we can meet up and help you find it.

Newfie.

Here ya go. :D

Found mine on my 08 under the cover on the passenger side. Never been used. I can't believe it's 12" short to reach the front. I know times are tough but come on Chrysler....

Good plan on running it over to the passenger side door hinge area.

I have looked on both the passenger and driver side under the hood in my 2010 GCSRT8 and can not find the block heater cord?! Am I missing something here? Does anyone with a 2010 GCSRT8 here have an idea? Thanks

Did you look under the passenger side plastic valve cover? The one with 6.1 Hemi on it?
