OBD2 port went bad

I have a 97 stroker and a superchips programmer and I am at my high perf setting on the tuner, but it recommends not to tow with this setting so I went to change it to tow-perf and I plugged it in and nothing happened. I plugged it into my buddys truck and it lit right up, my question is can I swap ports with a 96 powerstroke or do i have to get this from the dealer. My port has a pin that is gone. Thanks

Make sure you don't have any blown fuses, as there is something else that is also powered through that ports fuse. Cigar lighter maybe...can't remember.

checked it all out today and sure enough I throw my change in the ashtray and a penny got into the lighter outlet and blew the fuse, replaced the fuse and i was good to go. Thanks for your help.
