    There may be a switch at the driver's position, I can't remember. The plug is likely upper right side of the engine bay just inside the rear doors.

    Dave I just noticed your 50°comment. What r u referring to the thermostat in the cabin? In the plumbing bay?? Pleae explain that is confusing to me.

    U have 4 separate pumps and loops on the aqua hot. 2 r cabin. 1 is water heater/plumbing bay. Those 3 loops cycle according to their corresponding thermostats. The 4th pump is the engine loop and has no thermostat just an on off switch. If u turn that pump on it cycles constant and eventually the engine coolant will get to the same temp as the aquaphot boiler and that stays between about 160• and 180° regardless of where u set the thermostats in the cabin, if it's working correctly. Does that help?

    There is a block heater switch above the derive, I just wanted to hook it up to a timer on cold days. Thanks for all of the input.

    The timer would be only to save electricity te element does not require it at all. Plug the timer into the outlet in the engine bay.
