| what is this cord connecting from my engine?
Took off my bumper, saw this cord that was not in use just wrapped along the radiator. Why is there a three pronged plug in a car?

What Multicartual said!
Something along the lines of keeping engine warm in extreme winter conditions while you (driver) is away.

I really tripped out when I saw it. | When it is super cold outside you plug it in. Not much use in the lml but if you were from the interior or places like Edmonton/Calgary it would be pretty common to see.

My old 3 series didn't start at -10 when getting cold soaked for a few days without plugging in. Haha. Vancouverites are so sheltered sometimes. It just means you live in an amazing place and no need to leave haha.

Not only do I have a block heater but also battery heater and oil pan warmer. When it's -40 its tough on your vehicle. Especially if you have a Diesel.
Berz out.
