Block Heater
The block heater is electric, so it only works if you are plugged
into shore power, or have the genset running.

The flickering red pilot light could be just the pilot light going
out, or a possible loose connection. The feel test on the actual
heater will tell for sure if it is working, mine gets very warm,
almost hot, so be careful, just put your hand about an inch away from
it to see if there is any heat radiating from it first, we don't get
the really cold tmperatures here in South Carolina, so that also may
be why mine feels hot, but it is heating up the coolant and it does
deffinetly help when starting the engine, a lot less smoke, from my
3208NA CAT.....GARFIELD.
