So glad to hear it!!

Thank you! Local Mineke charged me $200 and couldn't diagnose the problem and then they wanted $950 for further diagnostics! I resolved the issue in 10 minutes after watching your video.

Good info. One thing to add. If there is no voltage reading, you may be able to isolate the issue further. You could put the voltmeter negative lead on the battery negative or chassis ground somewhere to see if there is voltage when the voltmeter positive lead is on pin 16. If there is, you would know that the issue would be the ground wire in the connector on pin 4. and not a fuse issue. Likewise, you could put the voltmeter positive lead on the battery positive and measure with the negative lead to pin 4, which would indicate the issue would be the wire in the connector pin 16, or the supplying fuse. Of course, there is a chance that both wires are bad!!

Had no power to the port and was pulling my hair out looking to find out why, saw this video, may share a fuse with other acc you say, like the cigar lighter you say, my cigar lighter doesnt work, checked the fuse and replaced the blown one, i now have power at the port to do my scan, 10/10 for this video man, thanks heaps 👍😎

Yup, lighter fuse on my 2005 gmc was blown. Scanner now works again!!! Thanks for putting this video out.

2003 MDX - VSA reset the iterwebs tells you to jump pin 4 and 9, I did that and the jumper cable turned glowing red hot. I pulled it part, and after that the car wouldn't start and the OBDII code reader was dead too. I found your video, found the fuse that I just blew and fixed it up thanks to you. Any idea why my fuse blew, the other video has 100's of people commenting that procedure worked for them. Me, not so much. Thanks man, you're a lifesaver!

Thanks so much - my 88 year old husband (who is by no means mechanically adept) just got the "answer" he was looking for from you while trying to repair our 2003 Saturn.

Thanks for Video. I was able to pass my failed emissions test do to "no power" to the OBD connector. I also avoided having to pay 167 dollars for a diagnostic fee at the local shop. The problem was a blown 10a fuse in the "Room LP" slot. I never would have found it without your video.

So glad I found this video before I went under the dash searching for a loose connection or broken wire! I just bought a $40 OBDII scan tool and the vehicle I needed it for showed NOTHING when I plugged in the brand new scanner. I verified the tools function on another car and it worked perfectly so I knew someone out there had the scoop on this likely common headscratcher. Thanks for saving my back and my time. It was the Cigar fuse under the hood that when replaced, energized the OBDII port and a simple fix!

Dude you are the man. Thanks! the car in my warehouse had this exact issue, the fuse ended up being on the engine bay panel but it was def there and had popped. easy replacement and saved me money from getting ripped off at the mechanic/dealership.

Thank you! This helped immensely!

Hi from AK just came across your video. Im now subscribed . Great help, appreciate you and along with helping me figure something out you actually made me laugh and I needed that. You are funny. Thank you for that.

Very informative video. As suggested in this tutorial, my make/model did NOT indicate either in the manual or thumbing through many websites which specific fuse powered the OBD. I then turned to A.I. (open AI) and asked it to find the information specifically for my make/model. It provided an informative answer. So, if all else fails, you may try that method to identify the blown fuse.

Excellent. Thank you sir. I had a broken wire on the back side 👍🤠

Question: my port works, but only if it is push down when plugged in. I can plug in, nothing will happen, I apply a small pressure downwards, it works. Fuse is fine. Any ideas?

My 1998 Concord OBD is MIA. I checked every fuse in the car including 2 circuit breakers and they all check good. I suspect I have a bad BCU because my security system, door locks, radio, interior lights, and a couple of other things don't work and fuses check good. Would a bad BCU cause a no power condition the the OBD?

i got a gwm steed 2011 model, my problem i got is the car starts perfect when cold. obd port is working. But when car get hot it shuts down then i also notice the reading on the dash board for millage does not come on but some lights on the dash work, not all the lights then when that happens we got no power at the obd port. Did you experience anything like that?

No update on your friends obd not having power? Curious if it was just a fuse or what you ended up finding out

Thanks Boss! I had this problem with my Kenworth Semi a couple of times and I get charged $140 per hour for someone to look at it. It was the fuse. The mechanics will say they swapped out the electrical, and just swap the fuse. 9 times out of 10. That's expensive!!

D&E, The one day old new battery negative connector melted leaving craters by the healthy still post and the starter was smoking, at the moment I stopped the car and lifted the hood, due to so much fumes coming out from under. Can I connect to the previous battery a portable power pack 12V Centech just to see if the OBDII scanner will bring some light in whatever happened or I would do much worse by doing that? Regards from FL.

Thanks for posting

i have a 2007 dodge grand caravan my obd port has no power tried several differnt scanners and still nothing???

Just seeing this video.. I just had my transmission replaced, and a week later, my check engine light came on. I took it to auto zone and had them connect it to the code reader. Unfortunately, they said my car is not reading at all.. It use to read before my transmission was replaced. Haven't checked all fuses yet. But my cigarette litghter workes because my charger is plugged into it for my phone. Need help??

On my 2018 Chevy Colorado, state inspection stated they could not acquire a reading. But I took it to autozone and orileys both came up with a P0014 reading. Truck is running fine but any idea why state inspection could not acquire a reading?

Yeb! That fix the problem. On a 2007 Ford Expedition, it shares a fuse with the Adjustable Pedals/Datalink. (Fuse #20) Thanks !!!!!!

Thank you you just saved my fedex truck 😊

I've got 1 now, 2000 chevy camaro, I have checked all you shown, now to divulge into wires up in the dash...HELP

I've had a sudden crank no start situation w with codes leading to the purge valve and evap. I tested all that still nothing I went to test my fuses I had a blown ignition coil fuse replaced it it did seem like it wanted to turn over spray starter fluid still nothing so I noticed that my OBD2 Bluetooth adapter wasn't holding a connection it would connect but then it would disconnect so I took my Dash plastic off and it seems that the OBD2 port is very loose and I have to hold it in a certain position to get it to keep a connection any thoughts?

I have a 2003 Hummer H2. I am getting “Unknown driver “ message on the screen, where it usually says driver, one or driver 2 Half the electrical, such as radio, windows, gauges stopped working. I hooked my scan tool up as you are talking about, it has power, but it says no communication. Just asking because I have worked on this myself Probably 100 hours. do you think the problem is combined with the OBD unit which may be causing the unknown driver. Just asking for your opinion please ? I’ve worked on key fobs, changed ECM and BCM but I probably should have started with the OBD port at first. Any comments I would sure appreciate it.thank you !

I have a question? I have a similar issue, only I can't connect with my PCM just my TCM, skim module light is on and I have power and ground and with 5 volt reference. I'm guessing the PCM has failed? It's a 1999 jeep grand Cherokee wj 4.7

Something I'm trying to figure out. I want to build a custom digital gauge cluster for my car. I didn't need it to power on with the OBD2 port. Just a standard power port on the car is good. If i didn't connect to the power pin on the OBD2, will i still be able to get the data? My device will be powered from somewhere else in the car

Hi there! Does hooking up a camera to the OBD2 port drain the battery when the car is off?

Okay quick question. I have an 04 Honda pilot. Wasn't getting any power to the fuel pump. Went to the main relay only getting ignition power no other power.

Damn my cigarette lighter is out... And my odb2. Once you said that it clicked to me.

I would jumper 12v to the + pin and check to see if the rest of the port is Ok before I start pulling wires. The odb port is part of the ecu so if it won't talk once your scan tool is powered up, you have bigger problems than " no power" . I've never seen a truly dead odb port, always connections...we have a saying in consumer electronics: "silicon doesn't fail, connectors and capacitors fail"
