I plugged the block heater in over night, had it on a timer so that it ran from 2am to 7. On the way to work, something in the upper right corner of dash (either speaker or warning buzzer) let me know that the car was just not happy. It just screamed for like 15 seconds. LOL.
That's the little draft blower fan for the climate control. Its behind the glove box, it pulls air through a tube across the climate sensor to improve accuracy. Mine would scream too in my 190 so I unplugged it.
