Your block heater plug should be located where the drivers side tow hook is. Mine has 2 prongs (no grounding prong).

Nah...It's just a little heater. Maybe if the plug is gonna get wet of something when it is plugged in. Wouldn't hurt.

what I mean is that it has two small round prongs that will not fit the traditional extension cord or house plug.

Is the plug you're talking about located at the driver's side tow hook? If so, it's most likely the block heater. Not sure what the round prongs are about - maybe someone modified it to fit some foriegn outlet??? If so, you can always modify it back to a standard US plug.

Oh that plug. I think that one is for the electric backup power supply, the thingy that gives free MPG.

You know kinda like a powerbooster. Maybe one of those Hightech turbonators

These are often installed on service vehicles and tow truck to connect jumper cables instead of clamps on the battery terminals.
