does anybody out there in the forums know where the on board diagnostics port is on a 2005 fiat idea...... thanx in advance pplz:worship:
 
sum1 must know..... even the bloke from green flag who came 2 day didnt know lol..... engine management light on .... limp mode until i restart car then all 5 gears with engine light on... turn off engine 4 bout 10 mins and restart ...NO ENGINE LIGHT ...might go 4 days or hours but always the same outcome
 
Is it not at the top of the fusebox? In most modern fiatsw the OBD port is to your right hand side of the driver in the drop down panel, the obd-port is part of the fuseboard moulding.

Likey this one maybe..;)

It is indeed there in at the bottom of the fusebox, you will need a torch to get see the port and orientation of the plug, its a very tight fit oooerr lol
to remove the dash plastics you need to remove the 3 screws above the little shelf bit and one torx at the bottom left of the panel, then slide the panel to the left and its off
 
EOBD regulations state that the socket must be accessible "without the use of a tool".

Have Fiat slipped up with this one?

Dave.

we had great fun, my dad runs a garage, last year we were looking for the port on my car, called a fiat dealer, 'yes mate the port is under the steering column' took the bloody lot to bits with no joy- even the steering cowling just incase.

turned out on to be the other side of the damn car
