Engine block heater cord location

[Kramersp]

Where is the engine block heater cord on the 2019 ram limited?

Did you order it with one. I know the Canadian ones come standard. If it's like previous Hemi's than its on the passenger side should come out close to the headlight. Might be tucked up under the plastic cover that goes over the rad.
The following from the manual.

The engine block heater cord is routed under the hood on
the passenger side of the vehicle near the right head lamp
assembly. It is located between the front grill and the
radiator, but underneath the black upper seal.

I believe you have to add this to your package and if you didn't you won't have it.

 

[Kramersp]

I did. I ordered it

Then you should have an electrical cord by your front end grill that can be plugged into a wall outlet

Where is your engine block heater cord , mine is beside the right fender near the air filter but too short to reach the front of truck?

That's the same place mine is. And it sucks! Obviously designed by someone that has never used/needed it.

Thanks i will talk to my dealer about it.Glad i am not the only one .

Yep, it's a terrible location. Don't know if there is anything a dealer can do, this has DIY written all over it.

 

[Daniel]

I know but they will have to do something about it like ordering a longer cord .
Canadian/Quebec

Maybe, depends on your relationship with your dealer. They provided a block heater and cord... unless it doesn't work, the location is not their concern.

Trust me, I'm a Manitoban, I'll be using my block heater every night and I agree the location is awful... I just don't see dealers doing anything about it.

I just reroute the engine block heater cord and it comes out on the hood right side front corner over the right headlight .

Can you share photo of how you routed it?

Risks for attaching an extension cord to extend the OEM cord - then reroute it to the front bumper ?

Basically, if the truck is parked outside my garage, I would just like to connect it to the power outlet outside and opening the hood to connect it doesnt sound easy. I am planning to buy one of smart plugs - and then somehow figure an automation to turn it on automatically 2-3 hours in the AM on freezing cold days.
