To be more precise:
* Look near the steering column: This is the most common location. It's often tucked away, sometimes behind a small access panel or near the fuse box.
* Check under the dashboard near the center console: Less common, but possible.
If you can't find it easily, consult your owner's manual. The manual will have a diagram showing the exact location of the OBD-II port. You can also search online for "[your Ford van year and model] OBD2 connector location" to find images or videos showing its location.
