Something else made the change, not the block heater.

It is possible the block heater cord is inducing a stray AC signal into the 12v DC system and it is confusing the programmer. Putting a capacitor in the programmer wiring would filter it out or you could move one of the cables (battery or block heater).

I am under the same conclusion as you Mike. Rock Doc what you are saying seems feasible but I would like to think that Edge has built in safeties that would eliminate stray RF signals. It would seem juvenile to think otherwise. I'll see if the problems continues tomorrow and go from there. Maybe I'll end up ditching the system all together and keep it stock. We'll see....
