Sounds like you need to replace the cord that plugs in the block heater and which you plugged into your extension cord. Call Rusty at (800) 741-5252 and he will get one speeding on its way to you. Other than the cord, which then connects to the block heater, there should be nothing else that connects to 120 VAC in your car. Craig
