so somehow my block heater cord got caught around the exaust manifold and has melted ..my engine is compleatly stock if i go to ford do you think this will be covered under warrenty?

Nope.

And it's a bitch to replace.

You could get creative and snip it off before the melted part and splice in an extension cord.

May be easier than replacing it.

Haven't looked at mine, but if you are lucky it might be a plug-in type at the heater itself. All you may need to do is replace the cord.

I have a spare cord if you want it come get it

i'm gonna take it on down to the dealer on friday see what they say i need to get my door handel looked at

mine shorted out last year because of all the moisture, I still have to replace it, as I like to plug my car in the worst days of winter ( jan ~ feb ) I tried to see if they would replace it and it was something like $125 plus labour to replace at ford.

my cord just "unplugged" in the fall .. not borken or anything, just unplgged itself.. so i just took it out..

but now i need it for winter.. my car as trouble starting (yep still running the car with the turbo :P ) .. where does it connect? not the best conditions to work on the car right now.. but i mean if it just unplugged itself, im sure its not that hard to reconnect it.. caus tehre is an adapter on the end...

anyone know? can't find pictures or anything

I have the plug in type.. but since its new to me, I have no idea where to plug it into the block heater! Any suggestions where I can find the location?

found a picture of it on ford, seems to be below your exhaust manifold.
