the hook up under my dash to read the codes won't power up my scanner to check the codes in my car. anybody ever have this problem before? how did you fix it. there aren't any fuses blown. I know the scanner works because I hooked it up to another on and it powered right up. thanks for any help. i'll be lurking arround trying to learn more.

the car is a 95 gt

The hookup under your dash is a connector for an OBDII Scanner which we don't use in our SN95s I believe. The OBDI Scanner Connector is under the hood on the passenger side of the car under the Strut Tower Brace. It is in a black box.

the one under the dash is for the v6. Ford used the same harness for v6 and v8 cars. The v8 is OBDI and the v6 is OBDII.

Ok, just a second.

Red circle is the plugs. there is a black one and a gray one. the gray on it for the single connector on the scanner. the yellow circle is a big bundle of wires that the plug comes out of. the pic is right behind the passenger strut tower.

Sorry its so blurry.
