Can't find block heater
Hi, all.
I recently bought a used 2019 F-350. I printed out the original window sticker from Car Fax to assess the build. Engine block heater is on the options list. I searched it, and the video's I found indicate there should be a plug on the lower-front facia. I don't find a plug there. I can see a wire harness that runs horizontally along the facia, but its tie-wrapped along the facia and I can't find any loose hanging harness that would be the plug as I saw in the videos.
Am I possibly wrong about what that option means on the window sticker, or should I check somewhere else for the plug?
Thanks in advance for any help.

My 2017 shows itself at the passenger side tow hook area.
Another thought. There was a recall on the block heater. Before Ford had enough parts, they had dealers cut the harness so it couldn’t be used.

Yes, I brought mine in and they replaced it. Then they called not too long after and said that they had to have it back to remove it, I never took it back for the removal.
