I have a 1995 ford explorer with about 160k miles and my check engine light comes on from time to time so i took it to the local autozone to use one of there obd scanners and they said that it wouldn't link up to my truck also tried 2 more different obd scanners and got the same result. any one have this problem and if so can tell me what they think i sould do to fix the problem thanks

Did they try an OBD-2 scanner or an OBD-1/EEC-IV code reader? '95 was the last year for EEC-IV, so the vast majority of '95's are still OBD-1/EEC-IV, and the test connector is under the hood (driver's side if I remember right). If you are using the OBD-2 port under the dash, you won't get anything because it's not hooked up.

To learn how to perform the EEC-IV self-test yourself: put Ford EEC-IV self-test into your favorite search engine.

The OBDI connector is on the passenger side between the blower housing and the inner fender.

OBDII was not functional until late 96.
