The scanner connections on my 92 F150 5.0 is between the firewall and the driverside hood hinge. It is in a gray plastic cover with "EEC test" embossed on it. Pry the connectors from this gray hood. There are two connectors--one single lead connector and other with 5 or 6 leads going to it.

a manual would have solved the mystery and give you what the codes would mean.
