Purchase a replacement cord end from a home improvement store matching the existing one. The cord end will come with instructions explaining how to replace the old end with the new.
To replace the cord for a block heater on a 2000 Malibu, unplug the old cord from the block and plug in the new one. The end of the block heater cord can be found by tracing the cord back to where it is plugged into the motor.
you can go to the dealer and buy a harness, make sure you match the wires correctly or you will end up with mismatched beams
first u need to remove the screws holdiny the pull cord housing then u remove it and pull the old cord out and hold it then remove the end of cord that has the knot to keep it in place wen u install new one do reverse but dont let the cord wheel go back
take your cover off of the pull cord, there should be a slot in the wheel that turns your crank, take your cord and tie a knot at the end of it a slip it in the slot wind the cord around the wheel bolt cover back on go have some fun....
Unplug it and replace it.
My dealer repaced the whole motor
To answer this question correctly the number of wires in the existing cord is needed.
you have to buy the plug-in cord (for the block heater) separately. Block heater is about $34.00 CDN and the cord is about $75.00 CDN. The cord has the regular end to plug into your electrical socket and the other end has a special plug end for the heater.
If the cord hangs loose/does not rewind you have a broken rewind spring. Not difficult to replace.
if your not a DIY person then take it to a shop, or remove pull cord cover, and pull out old cord, turn the pully" that the cord was on to wind up the spring, thread new cord into hole in pully tie a knot in end let it rewind cord back in, Get a armor cord they will never break they are tested to 1 million pulls,break 1 get 10 free i just changed everything i have a put the armor cord in it. armorcord.com

In general- secure a replacement starter cord. Remove the cord starter reel, Wind the spring driven reel about 5 turns, aligning the cord hole in the reel with the channel for the cord. While holding the reel against the spring, insert the starter cord, tie a knot on the cord inside the reel, let the spring gradually turn the reel until the cord Is wrapped on the reel, replace the starter wheel unit on the weed eater, replace the screws that hold it in place.
