The previous owner is an idiot. He could have just added an OBD2 port lock to block access or move and hide the port.

Go to https://www.acdelcotds.com/subscriptions and buy a 3 day subscription for about $25

Find the wiring diagram you need and then print it as a PDF so you can save it. Short of someone physically removing their OBD port from under the dash and taking multiple pics, you're not going to get the info you need. In addition, if someone was stupid enough to hack the OBD port off, you don't know what might or might not be missing depending on where they chopped the wires.

Thank you, I was able to purchase the entire Obd wire loom and it looks like I will be able to match the wires up
