    on a roll tonight...lol

    Getting ready to attach the #4 ground wire to my OBD port and can't tell if the fastening screws are phillips, or torx. If torx or security style, does anyone know the correct size. Light reflection and tight quarters don't give me a good visual.

    Logically, it won't be a torx bit. Torx bits are considered to be "anti-tamper" and not likely to be found on OBD2 wiring.

    Is it a single wire earth or is it used for other things?

    There was an OBD2 kit and an associated FNA bulletin regarding installation, but I'm having trouble finding it.

    Just became an adult and removed the PHILLIPS screws that secure the OBD connector.

    Can anyone tell me if there is suppose to be a cover or cap on the OBD port?

    No cover on the connector. Those are for sissies.
