Block heater remote plug

[FortMacGuy]

Ford had a real brain fart where they hid the block heater cord. I made a temporary block heater relocation bracket and extension.
I used a NOCO 16" extension (lengthened by 12 inches).
A piece of aluminum road sign.
I will be making a new mount in the spring because the fog light pocket will be filled with lighting.

I just ordered one of these for my 23 Super Duty last night!. Plug is very obscured due to to grill guard & winch. I found this mounting plate on Etsy and was worth it for the time I would have into fabricating one:

I did order the block heater for my Bronco, but probably won't need it too often if at all.

I find it odd that NOCO only sells the 16" and a 6' extension. It sure would be nice if they had a 36" flavor.

I just unhooked like 5 clips and the strung the OEM cord out the same spot as you, no extension needed.

 

[FortMacGuy]

uh, that's a great idea!
I have to say I didn't think out the rerouting option.
I might go that route next winter...

yours looks much cleaner, I like it, mines held in place with a zip tie.

I went with the dual 18", one for the block heater, and one for a GENIUS2D trickle charger.

I ordered it with my 22 Basesquatch. A $100.00 upgrade at the time, so I figured; why not? The placement of the connection does seem like an afterthought.

Huh ?

I use mine all the time, no problem at all with stock setup/location.

The stock location is not so wife friendly at - 30.
Darn cold to be fumbling around with hoods and cords.
To each his own for sure.

Yeah...I picked mine up earlier and expected it to be around the number like with mu 2000 F350 PSD. Nope...got to open the hood and *woop* there it is.

.Much prefer easier access than having to open the hood...
