Problem Block Heater

[RandyB]

I checked where a fuse or breaker would be for this so I looked in the breaker panel in my half bath and there is a breaker for the block heater. May want to have that checked or cycle it if you still have a problem.

That's where mine is too. In the half-bath. It was fully on, but switched off then on again and no change. It seems that this breaker is the only "switch" in the circuit. Nothing in the controls cabinet overhead and nothing on the dashboard. I've only found this breaker and the plug for the recept in the aft driver's side electrical bay where the shore power cord comes in.

Thank You

You can also use a kill-o-watt plugged I to the pedastle...an extension cord to the block htr plug. I do not know the cutoff...but I believe it is thermostatically controlled. So, if the oil is already above the cutout temp presently...you may not see current draw.

We used our Engine heat via the Oasis this morning. We used Oasis all night...and in the morning about 20 minutes from departure...I turned the pump switch ON. Key ON, and toggled the LBCU to engine temp and saw that it was 131 degrees F. Good to go!

Simple project...pump, hose, hose clamps, spade crimp-on terminals, and a solder in toggle switch. Cycles the engine coolant thru your Oasis heat exchanger to warm the engine. I've never used the block htr...that would require going outside where it's cold..
