Where the hell is the obd2 connector on an '04?
 

Seriously?

I'm crouched over here with the knees in the snow looking for the damn thing, and I can't find it. Could someone please spoon-feed me a picture?

Inside the fuse panel on left side of steering wheel?

You have to pop the little cover off

^^ Gets the award!

Picture for you.

There's a web site for everything...

Thanks, last place I'd have looked.

Damned modern cars with their new-fangled electronics. I knew buying an NB would haunt me...

Yes, who'd have thought they'd put it in a logical place. Damn engineers.

Wait... JOE started this thread? O.o

You'll get used to it :idea:

Yeah, such as directly under the steering column just like every other automaker does. Instead, they put it in the spot where my left knee goes when I'm driving, such that I can't drive the car with the dongle in place.




I got dragged kicking and screaming into the NB world. You wanna talk Megasquirt or electrical engineering, I'm there. This is the my first experience working on a completely stock NB with the stock ECU.

Gimme a few days and I'll be able to BS people into thinking I'm an expert. :giggle:

Whiner.

What you need is a dongle extension....

Hey, it's even available with Prime shipping!

Don't feel bad. State inspectors can't find it either.

It's hidden behind a hidden panel on the center console, pass side, on my prelude.

Darn those sneaky Mazda engineers, hiding it 1 foot to the left of where it should be.

I had to double check this wasn't a troll thread.

Kinda rude to state this so publicly if you ask me...

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

I have found that when running at 7200 and 10% load, i pick up additional lost and found power with the cover removed.
