OK, thanks to this forum and Cestwick, I had the dealer install an engine block heater last night. Took a quick look at it this morning (still dark out), the chord is wrapped up and laying in front of the battery housing.
Is there a place for the plug to fit thru the front grill? I am curious how it comes on a factory installed heater. On my pathfinder, the chord was near the bottom of the front grill (air intake scoop hole :confused: )

THanks for all your help.

My factory installed is also rolled up between the battery and the fuse box. However, I have never used it, but assume it is long enough to reach around the radiator and out through the grille opening. Possibly, it might just go down and fasten somewhere around the lower radiator support.

Thanks. And yours is striaght from the factory. So that tells me something. I'll have to find a way to snake it around and out the front grill.

run it through the battery vent hole.
