We have a 2003 Coachmen Mirada. I just ordered the 5-Star Tuner and we need to figure out where the OBD port is located. The rep at Star Tuning said it should be under the dash near the steering column. I have a port in my car so was looking for something similar, but can't spot it. The rep said it has a cap on it. It's pretty tight under the dash so it's hard to get a good view. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much.

It's there. Sometimes difficult to find. Near the column, left or right. Nave have a cap. Could be hiding in a wire bundle. On my PA it was hard to find, removed a plastic panel under the column and was then able to find it. Once found could connect without removing the panel.

I found it! Using the Q-178 Ford Bulletin as a guide and hoping it was where it was originally placed on the chassis I was successful. I removed the "leatherette" collar that was around the steering column and that gave me better visibility but I found it by sliding my hand up alongside the steering column and felt it first, then I was able to get a visual using a flashlight. It does have a cover but the cover was off so it was easier for me to locate it. Thanks everybody for your help. Now, we're just waiting for the 5-Star Tuner to arrive.

You will LOVE the 5 Star Tuner! It "tames" the transmission shift points AND gives you 4th gear! Fewer 5 to 3 shifts.
