OBD2 port not working

I am looking for some advice. I am having issues with my OBD2 port at the moment. I have good ground on pin 4 and 5. I also have 12 volts on pin 16. But it will not connect with my edge tuner. I did finally get it to connect with my scanner but I had to enter everything manually to get it to work. I have checked all my fuses as well and they are all good. Just wanted to see if there is something I am missing. Thanks!

Curious what scanner you are using and what "entered everything manually" means?

OBD pins seem to be fine.

Do you have power at the cigarette lighter?

To give background on my situation. My 03 v10 Ex stalled the other day on an off ramp to me all symptoms point to faulty fuel delivery. i can diagnose that one (i think) but trying to scan my truck to see if any codes rang up during the stall i discovered my obd2 port isn't working at all. so i started looking into this. On pin 4 there is no ground. On pin 5 there is ground and i don't have power to pin 16 but i do not have power to cigar lighter but all power outlets in the EX do have power. i have checked all related fuses and possible relays. and none are blown or corroded.
so i back fed the pin 16 with a jump from the 12v power outlet near the radio and powered up the scanner (it worked) but MIL status was OFF and no codes were found? i figure if there is stored codes the lack of ground on pin 4 is ground for data point maybe the (pcm) i believe. kinda makes me think PCM could be bad but i honestly don't know
I'm just reaching out and hoping someone maybe able to help. I will appreciate any help thank you
