The OBD port can be found on the main console, positioned to the left and beneath the steering wheel. If the port is not functional, it may indicate a faulty fuse. To access the fuse box, you should look to the left of the steering wheel for a slight seam or crack on the dashboard. You can use a screwdriver or prybar to carefully open this panel. Inside, you will see various fuses. On the back of the panel, there should be a diagram illustrating the purpose of each fuse. If not, you can refer to the vehicle's owner's manual for guidance. Identify the fuse that needs replacement and remove it. A good fuse will have a thin metal strip connecting the two protruding sections. If this strip is intact, you can reinsert the fuse. If the strip is broken, the fuse needs to be replaced. Replacement fuses are inexpensive, typically costing around 10 dollars.
