On the front of the truck by the tow hook
The "plug" powers an coolant heater. A diesel engine starts easier if the engine is warm.
block heater on a ford actually is not a block heater, the hater is in the right side near rear end of oil cooler on left side of engine, if you follow the plug in cord back, you will find it. it is NOT in the block
Engine block heaters were optional.
There are no spark plugs in a diesel engine therefor no plug wires thus no distributor and no coil.
The engine block heater usually replaces the passenger side rear freeze plug.
The block heater on a 1995 Ford Ranger is in the engine space under the hood. The plug for the heater block is located near the front of the engine.
In my 1986 F350, I replaced a the 6.9 diesel engine with a 1989 7.3 diesel engine. Everything fit. BUT I had to used the glow plug system from the 6.9 system
If the 2007 Ford Edge is equipped with a block heater, the plug and cord are located in the engine compartment. It should be on the passenger side, towards the front of the vehicle.
To answer your question, the following text is taken from the 2006 Ford F-Series Super Duty Owners Guide: "Use of an engine block heater is stringly recommended if you live in a region where temperatures reach -10F (-23C) or below. For best results, plug the heater in at least three hours before starting the vehicle. The heater can be plugged in the night before starting the vehicle. The plug for the block heater is exposed in the front of the vehicle, beneath the grill. Vehicles equipped with a gasoline engine have the plug exposed on the drivers side of the vehicle; vehicles equipped with a Diesel engine have the plug exposed on the passenger side of the vehicle." The plug is a three prong grounded plug with a water-resistant rubber cap on the end of it. Ford strongly recommends in order to reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use your heater with ungrounded electrical systems or two pronged (cheater) adapters.
