AFAIK, no fuse or switch in line with the block heater wiring. This doesn't guarantee that a PO added one . . .

You may have to crawl under and trace the cord from the plug to the block heater (passenger/right side of the block, just in front of the starter motor). It could have come unplugged, especially if it is NOT the factory cord, which has a screw-in retainer to keep the cord from coming unplugged. If the cord is in place and seems OK, then the block heater could have burned out (although that seems unlikely and I have never heard of one burning out).
