    I have checked fuses, none seem to be blown.

    Does the scanner work in a different car?

    According to the internet which never lies, the OBD 2 port is often piggybacked to another fuse such as the cigarette lighter or as the youngin's call it the radar detector plug. I'd pull and check the fuses that are power things even when the ignition is off.

    My OBD port was dead. After much investigation I found the power lead was "open" somewhere between the fuse box and the firewall(drivers side). The wiring bundle snakes across the front of the engine compartment making it difficult to trace the break. I cut the "+" lead behind the OBD port and added a female bullet connector(lower right pin #16 on the obd port-looking forward). A male bullet connector and wire and accessory plug goes to the accessory power outlet on the center console to power the OBD port. I keep the wire assembly in the center console with my code reader.

    I'll check my wiring manual when I get home.

    I found no fuse in the owners manual for the diagnostic port.

    I'd check each fuse - pull it out verify continuity and fit in the socket.

    i a\found it...

    It's called the datalink connector - fed by #105 in the power distribution box under the hood.

    Also powers the PCM.
