I have heard talk of mystical engine block heaters and magical keyhole illuminators.....

If such things exist then what models had 'em? How can i get mine to work, providing i have 'em??

 

Your GXL should have the light. My little cover on the keylock is busted, but i can still see the light at the keyhole. There is also another light above the ignition key switch too.

The heater block, it's just a dealer option

 

so i guess i dont have the block heater...

uhh.. hmm.... there is no light whatsoever by the keyhole (but there is an orange one above teh ignition). How to get it to work now...

 

Yeah all the GXL models had the lights, and my 88 GTU has it as well. Although I am not positive, I thought the T2 and verts had them as well.

Generally when they are not working they have just become unplugged in the door. Remove the door panel and see, if it is still there, and if the light next to the ignition key still works, then the bulb is probably bad.

 

I have the keyhole lights...but no block heater (I don't need one...my car never leaves my garage in the winter! unless it is on a trailer...)

 

"uhh.. hmm.... there is no light whatsoever by the keyhole (but there is an orange one above teh ignition). How to get it to work now... "

im pretty sure the orange light is the one by the key hole. its just a little light right above the keyhole or the igniton. same thing
