where can I find the OBD II cable for a 1999 Ford Explorer? Is there a universal cable for all cars models? Which is the best OBD I & II software?

Actually you can use a scanner with obd1 you just need the proper attachment (some of the better scanners have multiple attachments). I believe most were vehicle specific so it's going to be a pain to find someone with the proper attachment. I'm not sure if pepboys or autozone will have a scanner with the obd1 cable but that's the first place you can try. Otherwise you may have to find a mechanic that does work on older cars of your make (or the dealership).

The cable is universal. OBDII covers OBDI as well so best to get OBDII. Your best bet is to get one the the cheap (about $80) code readers, that has the cable and software already.
