The pictures aren't too clear, but they might be of some help.
Hi
Complete newbie so apologies if this has been answered before but...
I would like to locate the OBD connector in my Ford Escort. It's a UK model, 1993. Can someone tell me where I can find it, or indeed if it even exists!
I have read differing opinions on several different forums but I gather I am looking at working with a pre OBD-II interface. If anyone could tell me what the protocol for a 1993 UK Escort would be that'd also be great!
Thanks
Andy.

Escorts don't have OBD. (Unless you have a very rare post-1998 model that has an early version of EEC-V, in that case you can have SOME access to OBD.)
Focus do have OBD-II.
The Ford code reader plug is on the passenger side kicker panel.
This is NOT OBD, and it is Ford-only protocol.
I have a UK 93 Ford Escort too and would love having information from the ECU displayed on the screen.
I will try looking for the connector too.
I have heard it is a pre OBD-II interface as well. Hope we can find a way of extracting the information like you can with OBD-II.
It is NOT OBD!!
It only gives fault codes!!
Thats a shame
(Could have saved posting too if I had refreshed the screen just before I wrote a reply, lol)
Shame, yes, but can't really expect too much from an old car, can we
I've got a 1996 Escort, I am changing to a post-2000 car this year before I finish the carputer and put that in...
At least you guys got the cool Escort.

Thanks for the info guys.
Disappointed the escort doesn't have OBD.
I should've also checked this post before I spent a good half hour tonight upside down in the driver side footwell with a screwdriver and a torch
I have OBD on my escort, under the hood, not inside, it's 2 pins conector, how come?only 1998? from 1996 there is OBD II for escort.
