Abstract:
A block heater test system for testing continuity in a vehicle's block heater. The block heater test system plugs into the power cord of a block heater to test continuity for the purpose of making sure the block heater can be powered. The block heater test system relies on a battery. So, no other power source is needed; but alternate power sources can be used. An indicator light or audible tone indicates a fault in the block heater or indicates correct operation of the heater depending on the design. The small nature of block heater test system and the weather resistant housing allow for easy use during inclement weather.

Claim (Index 15):
A tester comprising:\n a housing having:\n a power adapter or an interior power source; \n an outer surface with a female outlet, indicator light, and an optional activation switch; \n and \n an interior with a wiring harness; \n and a rear cover comprising an attachment aperture, and having:\n testing states that include an energized configuration and a non-energized configuration; \n and \n standby states that include an energized configuration and a non-energized configuration, \n wherein\n in the testing states a heater is connected to the outlet, \n in the standby states a heater is not connected to the outlet, \n in an energized configuration the circuit supplies a voltage across the outlet, \n and \n in a non-energized state the circuit does not supply a voltage across the outlet \n \n wherein\n the heater comprises a continuous electrical path, the tester is in the testing state, and the energized configuration and the indicator light illuminates \n the internal power source comprises a battery, \n the wiring harness electrically connects the female outlet, the indicator light, the optional activation switch, and the power adapter or interior power source together into a circuit adapted to measure the continuity of the heater \n the indicator light comprises at least one light emitting diode, \n the interior comprises the power source used for powering the block heater test assembly, \n the power source comprises battery and an adapter for an external power source, \n and \n the heater test assembly is able to be remotely used.
