I was also able to assemble it with a nice long cord that allowed me to use it under the hood where I was chasing problems.

Bought to make a new connector for my ScanGauge II. It turns out that the eight pins shown here are perfectly aligned with SGII. Unfortunately the breakout board is already soldered to the pins so you can't make a proper solder connection and instead have to heat the pad on the same side as the wires. Nevertheless, she does her job well. SCII, you just need to use a multimeter to match the OBD-II pins to the eight pads on the board. In my case, I also drilled a hole in the beveled edge of the…

There was a hole next to the 4 at the end, 5 when I checked it with using an ohmmeter which is a bit…
