96 F250 OBD 11 connector?

Usually, the connector is located on the left hand rear of engine compartment, close to the firewall.

Hope this helps

||I have a 96 F250 that now has to pass the Texas annual environmental ||inspection, run by computer via the OBD 11 connector. I have taken this ||truck to a Ford dealer, local Chevy. dealer and an independent state ||inspection station. None of the above can find the connector. The owners ||manual has a brief reference to a preliminary driving exercise before doing ||the OBD 11 test, but no more info. I posted this question to the official ||Ford customer service site but their response was to take it to a Ford ||dealer. The 2003 sticker expires at the end of this month. The Chevy dealer ||said if the vin has a T in the tenth position of the number, it has a ||connector somewhere. The vin does have a T in the tenth position. ||Can anyone help? Thanks. MM

I have the same problem with a '96 F350. So far I haven't found it. Texas Parts Guy

So a 1996 model could still be OBD1 or EEC-IV? I thought therey were required to be OBD2 in 1996. Texas Parts Guy

That was just for passenger cars. Trucks were later.

The connector is about 1"wide and is located on the under side of the dash under the glove box,and is black in color. Jeff

True, but it's not there on my '96 F350. Texas Parts Guy

My 97 PSD F250 has it in the cab, under and to the right of the ashtray. It has a cap on it.

Sure enough, ny '96 F350 gas has a plug at the left rear of the engine compartment with a cap over it, marked "EEC TEST". So it's not OBD II :( Texas Parts Guy
