The male 120v electrical connector on the end of my block heater plug must have shorted out and melted internally, no biggie- 116,000 miles of getting pasted by road crap is is worn out. I got a new plug at the hardware store and I am having trouble finding what wires go to which part of the plug. There are 3 wires going into the plug and they are all black. Does anybody know the ground of the 3? I understand that as long as I have the ground connected right the other two don't matter which prong they go onto.
If it is the flat 3-wire cable, the wire in the middle is typically the ground. It should actually have the green insulation that may become visible when you pull the outer two wires apart to seperate them for installing the new plug.
