OBDII Connector queston

I just wondering I want to hook my superchip up to my truck and it wouldn't turn on. I wiggled the wires as far up as I could reach them and nothing. I went to my dad's truck and pluged it in and it turned right on. I currently have a no start condition, could this have something to do with my pcm?

Check the cigarette lighter fuse, I believe that's where the port power comes from.

I would check the fuse to the cigarette lighter/powerpoint. That supplies power to the obd2 port.

Here's a pic and diagram of the OBDII Data link Connector.

If the fuse is good there should be 12V on pin 16 even with key off.
