Summary: Difficult to hook up, but worked fine
Comment: I got this reader for my 1994 Explorer. It was a bit difficult getting it hooked up to my truck. Finding the OBD1 code port in the first place was not easy. Once I did find it, figuring out how this unit plugged into the port correctly took a bit of experimentation.

However, once it was plugged in, it read the codes out of my truck just fine.

The unit is not exactly intuitive, but once you figure it all out, it does work fine. I wouldn't recommend it for the novice.

Summary: WORKS GREAT!!!!!!
Comment: This product worked great! The digital readout was definitely better than trying to count the "flashes of the dash". I would also recommend purchasing the extension cable. That truly makes it a one man job.

Summary: 100% Satisfied customer!!!
Comment: I had multiple mysterious conditions accompanying my "Check Engine" light. The dealer wanted $100 just to read my codes! I thought I could find a reader at least for the same price and found most readers that would read OBD1 codes were over $150.00 until I found this Ford specific OBD1 reader at a fraction of the cost the dealer was going to charge me. My 1st thought was that this could'nt be a quality device for $25.00. I read up on the product, trusted the reviewers here on Amazon and gave it a go. I found 5 codes and was able to do several other self diagnosing tests and am 100% satisfied with this product. Highly recommended! It is rare to get more than you pay for... but this is indeed one of those times. Thanks Amazon for listing great product. Dennis - Oceanside, CA

Summary: Great OBDI Code reader WITHOUT Blinking Lights
Comment: Finally this is a OBDI code reader for cheap that doesn't have the blinking lights. Comeon if I wanted blinking lights I would use the paper clip and engine light method. But, this gives you a simliar to an OBD-II display but for OBD-I Fords. This does exactly the same things as other code readers but I find it way better to read and like the code book. Don't waste your time with cheapo blinking light $30 code readers at your local auto parts store, get this one for around $30 and bask in digital display.
