I have a cord hanging down in one corner of the bay where the Power Cord, phone and cable connections are. It looks like a the end of a black extension cord, there is a grounded plug to plug it into, but it is just haning there unplugged??? As it is in the back top corner of the storage bay I guess I just never noticed it. This past week "Islander" mentioned he had one in his Vectra, didn't know what it was but he plugged it in??

OK, anyone know what this is ??????????

Engine heater. You should have a switch inside to turn on the outlet that it is plugged into when you need the heater in cold weather. I use that outlet for my Battery Minder.

Thanks Don,
I don't travel north of the FL/GA line except between Late April to Mid October, guess that explains why I would never need to plug in that engine heater.
