Yes, its possible that there is a short somewhere that is getting hot,
but not in the right place to function as a block heater. I would
suspect that something else is going on, like maybe the oil viscosity
is too high. This would make it very difficult to start in cold
weather.
We have an answer. The poor thing had to be towed to the dealership last
night. They checked it over very thoroughly.
The block heater was functioning perfectly, the problem was, it hadn't
been installed correctly at the Cummins factory, and when the engine had
been installed it had fallen out.
So, they are getting me a new one. Unfortunately, they are on back order.
They are also checking on the oil viscosity to see if a lighter oil
might be needed.
Meanwhile, I have a 2017 Rogue, which is a cool little car.
If the block heater is going to take more than a few days to arrive,
they have offered me another truck until mine is fixed.
This is why I have driven Nissans for a quarter century.
Any company looks good when things are going well, it's when the
inevitable happens and something goes sideways that you see what kind of
company they are.
When my self destructing Pontiac was going in for repairs every other
day, GM blew me off.
Which is why friends don't let friends buy a GM vehicle.
