Default 95 Wagon CEL, where do I check?

Where on the car, do I check how to test the CEL. I lookder under the pass dash and I didn't see a wire that I can jump on my car. I have a 95 Wagon LX Accord. I've been looking for weeks and I can't figure out where. I'm getting a CEL like every other time I run the car. Autozone cant help cause they say my car doesn't have an OBD II sensor for them to hook up to. HELP

OBDII sensors weren't used until 96 models and newer i believe, I don't know if the jumping thing will work since the car does not have the detection system that a car with the OBD II has. I've also heard that you can short out your computer by doing the jumping technique if you do it incorrectly. Are you having any unusual symptoms while driving. If you have the money i'd recomend bringing it to a dealer, especially over a place like Car-X or Midas, the dealer can generally diagnos correctly while the other place seem to just "guess" costing you more money in the long haul (seemed to have happend to me, now i always bring it to the dealer, and they get it right the first time.)

Some 95 accords have Obd2 connectors and the computer is obd2, some 95 accords have obd1 computers but have a "dummy" obd2 connector that does nothing, most 95 accords are just obd1. Just do the jump method if you no connector under the ashtray. It's on the forum somewhere. I have never heard of anyone blowing a computer by jumping the SCS connector, don't worry about it it's made to be jumped.
