I searched for this first..All I could come up with was for 3rd generation location..Is it the same with my 2001??

Thanks

Are you sure that the plug is not bad??? My block heater stopped working because of a burnt out plug. Check it for continuity with a meter at the plug and element, this rules out one or the other. Replaced mine with a plug from Lowes, works good now.

 

Mine was the plug end as well. I cut it off and put a new one on and it works again

 

I will check the plug before going through all the trouble of replacing the heater..Thanks!

Yeah, I would say check the cord with a volt meter. You could even check the block heater element for resistance to see if it is bad or not.
