Water heater element location
Drained my water heater, but I couldn't find the electric element. Could someone point it out to me?

Your water heater electric element is on backside of water heater under a protective black plastic cover.
Your 2005 model uses 12V DC to active the 120V AC to element via a dc relay.
Only need to mess with electric element when they stop working
The components in outside compartment ----gas valve, burner tube etc are corroded due to the constant leaking of the T&P Relief Valve (see all the bluish/green on valve ---that is discolored brass from constant leaking)
Gas valve, burner tube -----surprised that it even fires up on propane.
