Question Heater wires???

I have two wires coming out the front of my grill, that have plug ends on them...is there anywhere I can look up info on these, to check them properly to see if they even work, I don't want to plug them in, and burn anything up, but if they work, then I sure could use them!!

I have the same thing. I was thinking that one was a block heater. But have no idea what the other one is. Could it be two block heaters?

Both are block heaters, gas engines 5.8L and bigger came with two.
To test them, check for continuity between the 2 spade terminals. All that they are is a heatng element.
if you plug them in and they work, they work, if they don't, they don't... wouldn't hurt to trace the wires and make sure they aren't worn through from rubbing anywhere.
