I have a 2008 Escape XLT with the 3.0 engine. I am looking to find if it has a block heater in it or not. I have seen many posts saying that it may/may not be installed already. I have looked all over the inside of the bumper, behind the license plate and crawled underneather the engine to find a cord with no luck. I am just beginning to try and DIY some vehicle fixes so not incredibly filled with engine knowledge. Could someone point me in the right direction of where to look to see if all I need is to install a cord, where to feed the cord thru etc. I have also tried searching google for pictures and instructions with no luck.

Thanks

 

Well, there's this:

That should tell you if there's a heater or not with a quick look under the engine.
