Block heater wont work

Hi,

My block heater quit working. It worked the night before. Is there a fuse or what should I look for?

Thanks!

I put a three way plug on my cord at the truck with a lightbulb pluged in so i know for sure i have electric. NO fuse for blockheater ,,check your cord going to blockheater with ohm meter .unscrew collar that holds it on the block and unplug then test, DONOT test with electric plugged in

Yes, check the cord first.....My cord broke at the plug last year, put a new end on it and it worked fine....Although, last week, my block heater element actually burned out and had to replace it..
