I have a 1995 Ford F-250 7.3 and I just got the 1705 superchips programmer and evertime I go to program my truck it say " unable to communicate" does anyone know what i can do to or what the problem is. Even when i connect my scanner to it, it wont pull codes or anything any info would help out greatly

 

check your power point and cig lighter fuses

 

everything powers up fine if it didnt i wouldnt be able to get the reading unable to communicate

 

Welcome to FTE. it sounds like something may be wrong with your programmer. did you get it brand new?

 

no i got it used because superchips doesnt make the 1705 max micro tuner anymore and ive heard good things and plug if my programmer was bad why would my scanner do the same thing

 

Ahhh, didn't know that the scanner wouldn't work either... so it's turning them on, just "not communicating"??? i have no clue why it would do that, but hopefully someone chimes in who does know!!!

 

ya hopefully im gonna try and trace wires tomorrow and see what i come up with
