Predator hook-up question
Ok all you FTE Predator guru's......here's the question: I hooked up my predator to see if any codes were evident and the predator wouldn't power up. It was as if the power was turned off to the Predator. As I recall (it's been along time since I've had it attached) you just hook it up to the OBD port and the Predator "comes alive". Am I doing anything incorrectly? I went through the instruction booklet and I can't determine if I'm doing anything wrong. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.

Now that you mention it I couldn't get my lighter outlet to work on a 12 volt plug-in (CB radio) I had my powerpoint occupied with a GPS. I'll let you know.
Thanks for the reply.

raptor131-Your hunch was right, I did have a blown 20 amp fuse to the cigar lighter/OBD II. My Predator lit right up and showeed me that no trouble codes were present. I thought I was having a problem with my turbo or maybe fuel delivery as I was giving the truck fuel pedal but things were very slow to happen....as in no turbo. Maybe I was traveling through a worm hole or something but no problem with turbo since I got back into truck after shutting it down.
Thanks for your help. Good fix!
