I am sure you checked this, but did you actually hear your block heater working after you plugged it in? Sounds to me like your block heater is not functioning properly if your motor is barely turning over or your electical outlet isn't working, or your battery is frozen.
Cheers and good luck.

Yes you should hear the block heater faintly (unless you are hard of hearing), it's not loud but you'll definitely hear it. I always make sure to hear it when I plug in my vehicle at work, otherwise you have a frozen block with the temps we've been having.
Good thing its warming up...

so well...figure..hasnt warmed up enough...so i left it idleing... ten min later...still no heat....took for another spin around block..and..
temp nedle started climbing fast......got it home...let it idle..settled down a bit....but if i reved the gas..needle went up again.....but still no heat in the cab..shut it down....

Mine did the same thing saturday, only it seemed to be spitting the coolant into the exhaust....watch for the white smoke, and good luck on the replacement of the hg's.
