Where’s the OBD port on a Dodge Challenger?
I just bought a used Dodge Challenger for a song because it needs a little work, and my friend and I are going to fix it up as a project. They mentioned that we should do an OBD scan to check for error codes—but we need to know where the port is located. Do you know where the OBD port is on a Dodge Challenger?

This sounds like a really fun project—worthy of a movie-style montage, even. The OBD port on the latest run of the
Dodge Challenger
is found under the driver’s side dashboard, often up by the parking brake. It might be tucked away inside a little rectangular opening, so you might have to search a bit! You didn’t mention what year Dodge Challenger you’re working on, but we’re assuming it’s one from the most recent run from 2008–present. If it were a vintage one from the 70s to early 80s, then finding the OBD port would pose a bit more of a challenge—because there might not be one!
The OBD-II technology of today didn’t become standard across all makes until 1996. Prior to that there was OBD-I, and each maker often had their own particular type of port, which meant that mechanics had to have a bunch of different OBD readers. But OBD-I only came into the scene in 1988, so if you were working on a Challenger circa 1970 through 1983, then it’s unlikely to have much (if any) microchip action at all.
But with a newer car and an OBD reader, you’ll be able to quick and easily get any
OBD codes
that your Challenger is generating, so you’ll know when to start. Have fun, and good luck with your car repairs
