OBD2 bracket
I went to hook onto the OBD port and found that the port was just hanging loose out of the bracket. I have no idea how it might have come free. I can't seem to slide it from the rear of the bracket nor am able to remove the bracket to try to slide it back Into position..as you all know, it's a really tight spot to work on it. Any suggestions?

I think I'd let my dealer take care of it. It's an Emissions Warranty. I'd guess that the Purple Connector: Either was never inserted far enough into the Black plastic to engage the plastic locks that should hold it in position, or an immense amount of force was applied to the face to the Purple Connector in order to force it backwards past the plastic lock tabs that are designed to keep it in place. If the later is what has occurred I'd want to be sure the locking tabs on BOTH the Purple Connector and the Black plastic were undamaged.

you’re not missing any part. Make sure your connector (male terminals) has positions for two rows of eight terminals. There will probably only be six or eight positions that actually have a metal pin or wire. Older GM pre-OBDII computer systems used a twelve pin connector. Make sure yours is the OBDII sixteen pin design.
