The port for the block heater is a small hole approx. the size of a quarter located on the windshield side of the motor, closer to the driver side of the car. It is just below the head (top part of motor) in the cylinder block. Make sure the hole is clean of dirt and debris by blowing it out, then simply push the heater element in until it clicks, that's it!

...well then you should plug the cord in... but that's it I swear!

Normally you remove one core plug(freeze plug) and the block heater goes in there. To get a freeze plug out you some times have to tap it in, turn it sideways, and grab it with a pliers.

It's a BLOCK heater, not a radiator heater.

It goes in the engine block, most of the time it goes where a freeze out plug is.

You have to remove freeze plug to install it.
