Scan Port

I do not know the technical term for what i am calling the "scan port". But it would be the port you would connect a scanguage into to get your readings. Anyways, i went to the local auto parts store to have them pull codes and they said that they couldnt pull codes cause my port was a ting like it wasnt connected. Their scanner fits my port. Any thoughts or help on maybe where to start on tracing back from the port to the engine compartment?

It's called the OBD (On Board Diagnostic) port. It uses the same fuse as the cigarette lighter, so if the cig lighter doesn't work you've found the culprit.
