I need to locate where to plug in the OBD code reader on my 1995 Mercedes E320 Cabriolet?
Add commentsMy check engine light came on in my 95 E320 Cabriolet. I went to Advance Auto parts because they will let you use their OBD 1 and II code reader. On my other cars in the past there has been a place usually under the dash where you can plug it in to get a reading. I have checked everywhere I can think of and cannot locate where to plug it in on my Benz! I have even checked the web all over and can’t seem to get an answer. Also, since it is a 95, do I need the OBD1 or OBD II? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have also checked under the steering column and looked for this cover that is supposed to open up but my car does not have that. It has a large panel that covers the underside of the dash which is bolted on and under that is wires, etc. No snap off covers of any kind.

On the panel under steering wheel. Look at steering wheel, then look to the left of steering wheel now look down. The panel should be located in that general direction (it may be slightly under the dash so get on the ground and look up). Pop off the panel cover and then insert your OBD.

Under the hood, passenger side, close to the windshield is a 16 pin socket under a small cover. You will know when you find it. After you pop the cover each socket pin is marked 1-16.
Remind Advance Auto Parts that even though your car is a 1995 it’s still the older body type (like a 1994). The convertible carried over an extra year.
They would have to give you the proper adapter for the kind of connection your car uses. I would actually be surprised if a retail store like that has the type of tool your car needs.
