There are different types of block heaters... Most common one is a freeze plug style heater. you have to remove a freeze plug and install the heater in its location. unfortunatly some engine blocks, such as Saturn engines, do not have freeze plugs. some vehicles have to use an external heater, where it mounts to the outside of the engine block, these heat from the outside of the engine to the inside, and are less effective. Another common one is installed in your radiator hose, simple to install and effective. other options are dipstick heaters, or magnetic oil pan heaters.

There isn't a fuse for the engine block heater , it is like the heating element in an electric kettle , as long as it is plugged in and you are not using a timer or some other device that controls the electricity , then the block heater is on ( assuming that there isn't a break in the block heater cord , which has happened to me a couple of times , where I've had to put a new " male " end on the block heater cord ) or something wrong with the heating element
