diagnostic connector...

Well i was trying to scan my new bird and i cant find the connector.:mad:  On the autozone website it says that its under the hood on the passengers side behind the strut tower mounted on the lower fenderwell?? i Couldnt find it anywhere. It is '94 but im guessing it has the obd-II system and i always thought they were under the dash on the drivers side. Does anyone have a pic or know a link to a pic where i could find it?

I believe its on the passengers side under the dash. Use to own a 94 cougar and i believe thats where it is.

OBD II started in 96.
Early 90's Taurus had it mounted on the passenger side firewall with a cover over it.

And ive also looked at obd - 1 code scanners for the bird and all of them say they work on all ford lincoln mercury 4.6 litre engines except the 1994-1995 cougar/t-bird. I am totally confused now lol

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
