The 1988 Lincoln Town Car doesn't have a standardized OBD-II port like modern cars. Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) on this vehicle were accessed using a
Data Link Connector (DLC). The location varies slightly depending on the specific model and options, but it's typically found under the dashboard, near the steering column. It's often a smaller connector, not as easily visible as the OBD-II port.
You'll need to look closely under the dash, possibly using a flashlight. It might be tucked away behind some trim pieces. A repair manual specific to a 1988 Lincoln Town Car will be the most reliable source for the exact location of the DLC.
