Ford Taurus
2000–2007

Location

Under the lower edge of the dash on the driver's side, directly below the steering column and above the pedals, with the 16-pin connector facing down towards the floor. Kneel in the driver's footwell and look up under the column with a torch; there is no trim to remove. Same position on every 2000-2007 Taurus (LX, SE, SES, SEL, sedan and wagon) and on the 2000-2005 Mercury Sable. US cars are left-hand drive only. If a scan tool powers up but will not talk to the car, check the connector's power fuse in the under-dash fuse panel (on some years it is shared with the horn, so a dead horn is a clue) before blaming the PCM.
