DESCRIPTION





The Data Link Connector (DLC) (2) is a 16-way molded plastic connector insulator on a dedicated take out of the instrument panel wire harness. This connector is located at the lower edge of the instrument panel, outboard of the steering column. The connector insulator is retained by integral snap features within a rectangular cutout in the instrument panel lower structural support (1) just below the lower instrument panel base trim and just outboard of the instrument panel steering column opening cover and inboard of the inside hood release (3) on the inner cowl side trim.
