World Mechanics my obd2 will get power in certain positions; at an angle or with slight pressure applied. Will not get power plugged in normally. Vehicle is a 2014 320i xdrive (F30/N20). Will I need to repair the actual port? I’m lost

[@jamdolo92]

Thank you.you helped me figure out why mines wasn't working

[@Dave-YellowDogWelding]

4 years after your post I fixed a non working OBD port on 06 HD2500 truck. Wondered why only one of the power ports worked. Now I have two power ports that work and I have cleared a couple problems with my OBD reader. Thank you!!!!!!!!

[@TheWoody660]

You just saved me hours and hours of aggravation. I my case it was corrosion on the load side of the fuse so the fuse tested good using a voltmeter. When I replaced the fuse, the car started right up. Thank you!

[@nomad-zg3zu]

this is maybe one of the most hopeful videos on the web i have seen regarding auto repair. i have seen some of you videos which i liked , i am mostly into audis but am working on a gmc now. you have saved me soo much frustration because how can you fix what cant be seen, SUBSCRIBED and THANKS A BUNCH

[@BarretKruse]

Agreed! Great content here on world mechanics and on the other channel the Repair Guys!

[@geraldschulz6436]

I remember a few months ago, I was trying to get a key fob to work. Had to short out a couple deals on the OBD connection. It did spark a little. I checked the cigarette fuse. Sure enough it was bad. Replaced the fuse, worked like a champ. Many Thanks.

[@stevemale9936]

Thanks for this advice guys. For me and my 2009 MK7 Ford Transit, the issue wasn't the Aux or cigar lighter fuses but the interior lamp fuse (#72), labelled as battery saver/OBD II (D'oh!). As soon as I fitted a new fuse, bingo! I am SO relieved, as I thought I'd bought a non-compatible reader.

[@Hollywood4Fun]

Thanks! My front accessory fuse in my 2004 Rendezvous was blown. It was because a penny fell into the cigar lighter socket. OBD reader is working now.

[@silverfregoso]

Thank you World Mechanics! You guys saved me. The fuse was bad on my truck, replaced it ALL IS GOOD with the WOLRD.

[@edgarmoctezuma7777]

[@blairh.shaffer1153]

Thank you! I knew the cigarette lighter fuse was accidentally popped when metal recently fell into the open socket. But I never thought of that as the reason why two OBD scanners would not work. Great tip, and thanks again!

[@ManGolden786]

Awesome, and helpful Guidance/Video. You are certainly a World Mechanic! Well I do have a similar problem, and the Scanners, does light up, yet it says No Link! After 20 years, for the first time I removed a Fuse Box cover and saw an OBD fuse, not in place 7.5 amp it is the first time I even found that Fuse Panel. I believe it is for another model, and everything came as-is from Japan. 2002 Toyota Corolla 1,5 NZR-121 FE. Are the Scanners Lighting up because it has direct power, and the 7.5 amp Fuse is needed is my question? Anyway, I used at least 6 different models OBD ll, same. Thanks for sharing your Video!

[@dpompian]

I was towing a 38' toy hauler and my trucks conks out. On top of that my obd2 didn't work! Your vid was the first one I checked and the blown cigarette lighter was the the problem! I got the codes pulled right away and it saved the day. Thanks for saving me a big headache.

[@tonymarshall47]

What about if the OBD port has power and grounds. It also has 60ohms of resistance (terminator resistors for communications). Yet it still will not send any data to scanners. Any idea what you think the issue is?

[@mohammadkhoso1009]

Did you find a solution?

Having a problem with my Opel Astra G's obd2 port. Tried several different scanners and plug in Bluetooth adapters where you have to download an app to your android phone in which to use the scanner. No joy with any of them. It provides power to whatever device is plugged into the port, but none of the devices I've tried will communicate with the ECU on my car. Always says failed to connect. Any help regarding this issue would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks

Hi You ever Got help with this ? facing the same probs now.

[@M1ke3ee3y]

@@Laikipian I later found out that expensive obd 2 scanners work on my 03 astra, but still no joy with my own scanners. Seems to differ from year of manufacture. My 03 astra won't comunicate with the scanner, but yet my 04 astra will work with the same cheaper scanners perfectly. They're both the same car, just a years difference. Annoying. If your car is vauxhaull, then you may need to get OP-COM

[@hankbridges5055]

Yote Smoker Check the cigarette lighter if the fuse blows. It can short and cause the fuse to blow.

[@amana1480]

It's not always the fuse. Sometimes it can be due to a poor connection in the car's internal wiring.

MY OBD2 port has no signal . 1998 BMW 540i. Checked fuses and they tested good. My round 20 pin OBD connection in the engine bay works just fine. I had one code for evap urge control valve/ fuel tank breather valve. This should have thrown a check engine light but it didn't. I'm guessing because the OBD2 is not working. Any suggestion for the OBD2? I need to get my DMV smog emission test done and they need to connect to OBD2. Thanks.

Get a Actron CP9680 to further test codes and diagnose. It does graphing, record, live, ABS, SRS, transmission tests, and MORE! It has code-connect to diagnose codes. The CP9690 is for OBDI and OBDII. It has cables for OBDI Ford, G.M., Chrysler, and 2 Toyota. It uses small aa batteries. Get a wall charger cable for a Tom Tom One GPS to review results in your home. EBAY has it. On the live test, if it says 'incomplete', that means you need to drive it some more to complete the test.
