If you mean the port where you hook the Subaru Select Monitor up to, it's located on the left side of the driver's foot well at the point where the side sill meets the front of the door. There's a triangular piece of plastic (covered in the carperting) which can be pulled off. Once that's out of the way, you'll find a yellow connector to hook up to the SSM.

SVXtasy & Chike,

For model years 92 & 93 it is in the driver's side kick panel.
For 94, 95 & very early 96 MY, it is OBD I, and is in a plug somewhere under the dash...I don't know where.
For late mid-late 96 & 97 MY it is OBD II, and is on the dash to the right of the steering column where the coin holder cut-out is on the 92's.

Good Luck.

Just remove the driver's side kick panel and you may need to dig out the smaller of the 2 black connectors from the frame.

Larry,

I have a late model OBDII '96 SVX. The OBDII access port is located where the coin holder used to be on earlier models. However, the select monitor port is located in the driver's side kick panel. I've pulled mine out already - like Earthworm said, it can be burried under a bunch of wires.
