Being a 1995 Ford vehicle, it has two data connectors. The one for the engine controls is under the hood in the middle of the left-hand inner fender and uses OBD I protocol. The other is for the body systems and uses a 16 pin connector like the OBD II. However, in your case it sounds more like you have a shorted wire, scan tools are not going to help much with that. Instead, you are going to need to access that area and look for the damaged wiring. Attached is a wiring diagram for the dash which should have the fuse on it. Is there any chance the cables were reversed when you jumped it?
