Block Heater Location?

does anyone have a picture (or a decent description) of where the block heater is on a 3126E?

Looking from the rear of the coach on the drivers side find your oil filter..The block heater is about 1' forward of the oil filter.

Found this picture on Ebay to give you an idea of what it looks like...

Hi;
On my 3126E (Dutch Star/Freightliner 04) the block heater is on the drivers side. My oil filter is on the passenger side. BTW, I had mine replaced at a diesel shop and it is the dickens to get out, but easy to put the new one in. Best not to try to do it yourself. Took close to an hour and I was right there looking.

Thanks all. I cannot find a switch, and it's not on all the time when plugged in by default, so I'm wondering if I even have one. Hope to get out there this weekend to confirm.

On my coach the block heater is a 110 line that I have to plug in and the plug is located in the same compartment with my main power cord. I have no switch and have to manually plug it in when I want it on. You may want to look around in your outside compartments for a short dangling loose plug. My previous coach had the same plug setup but then had a switch on the dash that tripped a relay to make it live.

I also seem to remember reading posts where the block heater plug was in the bedroom under the bed.

Well, there's no block heater on my coach. I thought that perhaps the cord had fallen off, but no luck there. On the driver's side of the block there are several freeze plugs that would host a heater, but nothing there.
