MS, thank you for the quick reply. I found a picture online where the connector is supposed to be and when I go out and look at this one there is an empty rectangular space with no connector. When I look up under the dash there is no loose connector that looks like it should fit there. What do you think happened to it?

[Bob Barker]

martians... That's what I think happened to it.

[DLMANNING]

Thanks, Bob. Is there someone I can talk to about that?

Of course, the problem is if I can't get it tested we can't register it and we will need to return it and then I won't have any reason to visit all you wonderful people here.

[Bob Barker]

I think if you can get Dennis Rodman to answer his phone then maybe you could convince him to return your OBDII connector... it's a long shot, but it just might work.

[MSHardeman]

I would think that that pesky thing would have to be up there somewhere. Does anyone know if you can just cut the OBDII port off?

You may need to take some of the dash apart to see if the connector has been stuffed up there somewhere. I just can't believe that it would be gone.

Does your vx have a scan gauge?

Bob, Have you been watchin' Men In Black again?

[Bob Barker]

Ha! No but that's what I thought of when I .... thougt of that...

Oh, give The Man a break... If Madonna hadn't cut off Rodman's connector he wouldn't be trying to steal everybody else's... Just sayin'

My VX does not have a scan gauge. It does have a large quantity of electrical tape up under the dash wrapping a bundle of plugs and wires. There is one wire hanging loose like it was cut.

Thanks for the responses. I will start unwrapping electrical tape to see what I can find.

Welcome DLmanning to all this madness

I live in California and am looking for a VX. I am obsessed with owning one!

One question though - California has annual smog tests. Are all VX's equipped to pass CA emissions? Or do they have to have a special CA package?

Sorry if this isn't the right place to post! Just excited to be here!

AFAIK, all VX smog = same-same...

WELCOME

Thank you Ldub! Also found gov emissions info online that corroborates.

My bro, an auto mechanic, is going to Idaho today to look at a '01 black with 84K miles. If it checks out, he'll drive it back for me and I'll have my VX in about a week! Whoo hoo!
