Hi
today I removed the Headlight housing from my 1999 F250 and I see a cable which was cut . I followed the cable and above the oil filter is the end , its a round socket(red?) with a flat ribbon cable (red?). And now I need help to find out for what this is

hope anyone can help

cheers

 

Sounds like your block heater cord.

 

hmmm...

I will make a picture tomorrow, but if it is the block heater where is the right place for the cable ?

thanks

 

If it is the block heater cable, which by the way does have a red end at the heater end, it plugs into the block heater in the side of the block and the end you found by the headlight goes out through the bumper where you can plug it into an extension cord. If it was cut and you need to use a block heater I would buy a new one. They don't cost much and you can get them at an auto parts store in just about any length you need. If you live where you don't need a block heater I wouldn't worry about it.

 

Here is a picture of one....

 

Thanks a lot
that is the same, but I can't use it because here in Germany we did have 230V and not 110

best regards and Thanks a lot

 

The 240/120 Volt/1800W electronic converters cost about $20 in US.

 

LOL I was thinking the same thing, but I didn't know how high the wattage went on them. We have a small one we use when traveling to europe.

 

My bad. It is $4 buy it now on ebay.

Hi
Yes, but I need 120/230 thats the problem

cheerio

 

Probably why someone cut the plug off...

 

Yes, but the this wasn't made from a professional because the plug was cutting, but not the cable so the cable hang down and polish the floor ???

cheerio

 

Bad news might be that PO cut off US plug to plug the heater into 240V

 

In which case it may be fried, just like chicken.
