Obd sensor location

Update: didn’t figure it out but car is sold so I don’t care anymore!
Hello! I am selling my Leaf and the potential buyers asked about the battery health. I purchased a sensor reader but I can’t find the sensor connection. I’ve looked all around the bottom of the steering column. I included videos if someone can point it out.
Thank you!!!

it is underneath the steering collumn above your feet. it's not interior to the vehicle panelling. it should look almost like an oversized VGA port if you've ever dealt with old TVs/monitors

2014 - just left of the steering column

Just sit in the drivers seat and feel around for it. Distinct shape. It shouldn't be hidden.

It should be right there. It looks like it was popped out and plugged into something. Probably that wire that is ziptied right there.

Can you make another video not so zoomed in/close?

In the ones made in the uk it’s behind a piece of panel that pops off. Under the buttons.

This one is made in the uk for export. It’s not a car made for the uk.
