The location of the block heater wiring in the vicinity of the driver side area between the firewall and strut tower under the hood. It is described as a flat, black, 3-conductor wire, tie-wrapped to other wiring. It may be wrapped with the plug and wiring in a bundle in that location, if not follow the wiring back to the plug. It's about 3' long. You can route the cord forward under the air filter housing and to the radiator. There's a rubber flap at the side of the radiator. Route the plug through the flap, then pull the cord down to the appropriate level. After unclipping one of the extra zip-ties you should have just barely enough slack to reach under the bumper between the fog light and license plate. It leaves the plug and about 0.5" of cord available for the hook up. Make sure to cap the plug when you're not using it to prevent ice from forming and coating the plug during freezing rain. The power cord must be secured in its retainer clips, and not positioned so it could contact linkages or exhaust manifolds and become damaged. Credit for this answer goes to ptcruiserlinks.com.
