Block heater

Some stuff made for car, truck and or trailer lights called Truck-Lite.
Smear on a film of that stuff and never worry about corrosion.

It turns out that it was the cord which had failed. I found an OEM part from a place in New York after I was given the part number by our local dealer for just another obsolete part.

The arrows indicate the new cord location. Routed under the brake lines. It took quite a while to get the factory clamps loose and ended up needing a thin wrench due to one spinning but all in all it went ok.
