Ok i connect my OBD II cable to try clear a CEL light, I connected the 2 green plugs together under the dash and turned the ingnition on, i have the reflash jumpers but couldnt see anywhere to connect it, i have looked at scoobypedia for what to look for but couldnt see anything the CEL light started to flash and the coolant fans for the radiator started to spin up then shut of continously, i tried connecting to ecu explorer but nothing would happen, it cant see the ecu, i have a wrx UK 05 blobeye when i connected the cable it came up its running version 1.3 is this right for this car or should it be 1.2?

any help would be great.

Can someone help me...
i dont have a cluse where to connect the Reflash plug.
i get as far as connecting the 2 green plugs and the OBDII cable, the car CEL light flashes and the fans come one but the ECUflash software wont connect, it says interface closed, so im guessing cause i havent connected the reflash plug that must be the reason.
can someone help with where to plug the reflash in.
thanks.

i believe you need a shorting plug. if you connect the 2 green plugs thats not going to help.

look up under the dash, you will see an unconnected plug. Its right up under the dash, not easy to get too. this link
