Wireing Help/ How to wire a OBDII port?

My scanner port is not working. I want to run new wires from the computer to it. I need help lol

Pleas someone tell me what wire go from the computer to the port and in what spot they go.
I tried looking at several diagrams but just keep getting confused!

Thank you!

You mean the ALDL port? I can look it up for you, but I'm at work. I have the factory manuals, so if someone doesn't help you until then I'll check.

Did you check the fuse for the cigarette lighter? That's where the ALDL connector picks up 12V power.

Oh and BTW on alot of scamtics it says the purple wire (serial dataII) is only used in 96 cars, welp mine is a 97 and needed it. So i dont know if that mean made in 96 or if its wrong
