I need or replace to heater cord on my Kia Sportage not sure how to get started how much damage am i doing to my car if i still cont. to use it just make sure it has water
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.
If its just the cord, then follow the old cord to the back side of the engine ( really the side of the engine closest to the firewall ) and replace it. When the engine is cold, plug it in and you will hear the block heater heating up. If you don't hear anything, then replace the heater also. That requires a little more knowledge.
The dash and fire wall need to be taken out.

It is normal for the cord on any heater to get warm after you are using it for awhile. If it gets so hot that it is uncomfortable to touch or the insulation becomes very soft, cracks, bubbles, or becomes brittle, you should stop using the heater. There may be a short in the cord, the wire inside may be partially broken in one or several spots, the cord might be cut, or the heater may be malfunctioning. For the price of these heaters it is advisable to simply replace one if it is malfunctioning. If you determine that the cord is at fault and you want to replace it, be sure to use a quality 14 gauge or heavier cord and make sure you have adequate strain relief on the cord as it enters the heater. If you buy the cord and plug separately make sure the plug is rated for at least 1500 watts or 13 amps and the new plug has the same number of prongs.
