OBD II is here, where does the connector go?

just got my OBD II code scanner, and was wondering, where exactly is the connector on the ecu under the dash? i was looking around there earlier and couldn't see anywhere where the connector on the scanner would go. thanks in advance.

Crawl under your steering wheel and look up. It's under the dash and 10 inches or so towards the driver's side door.

thanks for the info guys.


I got the one from harbor freight for 40 bucks that someone posted about a few weeks ago. it just gives the code and clears codes, but the index of codes is available online and in my haynes manual anyway, so this was all i needed. here's a link to it:

shipping took about 1.5-2 weeks unfortunately. i'll update this thread once i've used it to see how well it works.
