Hi,Thanks for your info how to upload pictures.It was very useful.At lust I uploaded the pictures.

The pick-up came from UK and in 2004 they started coming out with OBDII but mine is a different set up,even the connector is under the hood not inside the cab.
Thanks again for your help.

Looking at the pictures I don't think it will fit.

Hope I'm wrong for your sake though...

Hi,
I just realized that probable you are right.

I will try to check if I find something else that could fit.

Thanks.

Hi,

That connector on your vehicle is the same as on the Ford Probe (1990's) (and others I'm sure).

You can just bridge two wires and connect a test light to another two to flash out diagnostic codes. I don't know exactly what you wish to achieve and I cannot guarantee that it will work on your Ranger but I believe it will.

Is there a diagram on the lid of the socket or nearby? Looking for terminals labelled FEN, GND, B+, TEN

No that is the problem ,there is no diagram of the wiring.I have an obdII scanner and the connection is not the same. I have the ABS light on and I am trying to find out what the problem is. My connection have 10 pins.

I'm confused. Everything that I read says if it is obd II then the socket is under the steering wheel with a cover on it and is a standard port. This is a genuine 2004 ranger and not a grey import? Just guessing that it might be an odb I socket. But it would have to be a pre 1996 ranger for that to be the case.

Hi, I bought the pickup from UK and as far as I know,it is genuine.It is a 2004 Ford Ranger xlt thunder 2.5 diesel doublecab black

Ok well I've found it. It is an old style Mazda diagnostic plug. Called Diagnostic Connector No 10. http://codes.rennacs.com/photo-gallery/MAZDA-EFI-10-CHOICE-Photos.php Looks familiar. So any Mazda dealer should be able to read the codes.

Hi,To day I received the Mazda B2500 adapter and tried it,but it is giving a link error,so probably it is not meant for the Ford Ranger.
