In the 2012 Ford Fusion, the OBD port is situated on the main console dashboard. If it's not functioning, the issue could be due to faulty powering wires or, more commonly, a blown fuse. To access the fuse box under the car's hood, lift and secure the hood. Along the right side of the engine compartment, there will be a black box with a visible seam. Opening this box will reveal the fuse inside. The lid of the box typically contains a diagram indicating the purpose of each fuse. If this diagram is not present, it can be found in the owner's manual. Once you've identified the correct fuse, remove it. Check for a thin metal strip connecting the two raised sections of the fuse - if this strip is broken, the fuse needs to be replaced. Otherwise, the fuse is still functioning and can be reinserted. Replacement fuses are relatively inexpensive, typically costing around 10 dollars.
The obd-ii port on the Ford Fusion can be found directly beneath the dashboard, positioned under the steering wheel column.
