[quote name='Iceman' date='Aug 5 2004, 10:24 AM'] I have something what looks like a socket on the left side of the glove compartment, but there is a plastic cover over it.
I don't know if there is a socket underneath and doubt it is...

Yes. Plastic lid by driver's door is the socket for the diagnostic equipment. I picked up my car one tiime and the lid was still open. Obviously this was where they plugged in the laptop etc for Car Memory programming.

The diagnostic computer has it's socket on the left in the drivers footwell, and the socket in the glove compartement, what is covered with a plastic that I can't remove without breaking the thing, is the one for the torch...

I'll try to clear up the confusion as to what diagnostic sockets are where.
