it's for a heating element

so it is used in very cold temperatures, you connect it to the wall socket and it heats the engine?

engine block heater, essentially helps ensure your oil maintains fluidity to make smoother cold starts and helps reduce startup wear in cold temps. Yes, standard outlet works fine.

Correct, now why it would be on a vehicle in Saudi Arabia is a bigger question. I mean it really doesn't get cold enough in Saudi Arabia that I would think anyone would have much need for a block heater.

Our Aviator was ordered by a Phoenix AZ area dealer. I suspect that it was part of some marketing package geared towards the northern states as it also came with all-weather front and rear floor liners.

I'm thinking outside the box. Just a thought. Perhaps that vehicle was stolen in the states and shipped overseas. That does happen.

I've only ever seen block heaters on diesels, and I didn't think there was an expedition diesel although there might be in a foreign market.
