OBDII not working

Why would my OBD II quit working after three years using my OBDLINK MX adapter without issues?

so nothing you plug into the OBD II port works? Did you check the OBD fuse?

I tried a new OBD adapter, same result. What fuse? Is there one inside the adapter?

There is a fuse for the OBD controller. Check your manual for the exact location.

The manual says it’s fuse #15 smart communication data 10A in the passenger compartment just left of the steering column. There is no panel at that location. There is however a fuse panel behind the kick panel on the passenger side just forward of the door. The fuse in location #15 at that location had a micro3 10A fuse which had one leg burnt. Replacing it fixed the whole problem. Thanks for the assist!
