Figure 1
2. Is there evidence of water inside the connector?
(1). Yes – proceed to Step 3.
(2). No – this article does not apply. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-03C for normal diagnostics.
3. Remove the right front fender splash shield. Refer to WSM, Section 501-02.
4. Replace the block heater power cable. Inspect the new block heater power cable for electrical grease within the inline connector. Is there electrical grease present? (Figures 2 – 3)
(1). Yes – proceed to Step 6.
(2). No – proceed to Step 5.
