general question ....

does anyone happen to know if the pig-tail extension on the block heaters is a standard male on one end and female at the other.Got a small short in the "bumper" end and was wondering if just any ole extension will work or will I have to just reterminate to save me from the dealer "repair" kit price.Have not looked under yet due to freezing rain.and anyway I am saving that thrill for when my new rear axle gets here.I can hardly wait.....

the block end is a 2 pin female plug . a regular extension cord won't work. If the male plug is bad just replace the plug

Just go to home depot & grab a weather resistant plug made for flat type power cords, use a little dielectric grease on the onnections as you wire in the cord, and if you see it necessary, some clear silicone at any seams to thwart water even more.
