If when they hook up their scan tool and the scan tool doen't even light up, then the cigarette light fuse is blown. That's where the OBD connector get's it's 12VDC. Replace the fuse and try again.

So right, check the fuse and then clean the ALDL connector they get corrosion on them becasue they hang down.

Great addition to this thread! Please feel free to help out whenever you are on the site :)

Cheers, Ken
