EEC-IV scanner connectors not working

I am working on my uncles 94 F150 and am trying to use my scanner to retrieve codes out of the computer but my scanner keeps telling me that it cannot communicate with the computer. Is there a fuse or something that might be blown causing the lack of communication? Or is my scanner jsut not compatible? Any info is appreciated. Thanks

Try cleaning the contacts on the diagnostic data link with contact cleaner and/or use a small finger file to remove the built up corrosion.
