95 850 - OBD1 box broke

Post by 95_855guy »

So got the new starter in, car started great. Drove it a few days and the check engine light came on.

Went to go read the codes from the OBD box under the hood and where the lead wire comes out (the cover where the led and button are) came apart and can't fit it back together. Led popped out along with the button.

I went to a pick n pull, thought I had luck with a 960 and another 850, but their boxes were taken too. Any idea where I can find another one of these boxes?

Appreciate any help.

A pick-n-pull is about the only option at this point. They may be available at the stealership but my guess is that it would set you back well over $100.00 to get buy a new one and it is unlikely that they are available. You might look on eBay as well.

Any '93 to '95 850 came with one and they have a connector on the bottom so changing it is easy.
