My friends truck will not let us scan from the port. What would be the problem. All the fuses look to be good!

You're too fast for me Rick
Fuse #16 powers the DLC
Horn & Cigar lighter too

 

Ok well, I looked over the fuses and they looked ok. But then I found that thread after a lil while "thanks for the reply tho" and BOOM the cigar fuse was blown. So ok no big deal put another one in and the damn thing blew up in my face and so put a bigger one just for the hell of it and boom. So long story short after f'n around for awhile finally notice a dime is in the bottom of the cigar thing and everything was good.

The simplist things can turn something easy in to alot of work!! lol

 

i had the same dang thing happen to me on a buddy's truck except it was a penny that we couldn't get out so i unplugged the cigar lighter.

 

how the hell does a dime get in there? someone musta been trying to f-with ya or the last owner of the truck and never figured it out

 

From throwing change in the ash tray instead of cigarettes. LOL

 

oh i could see that, but wouldn't you change get covered in ash...lol

 

In a word.....KIDS!
Little devils put stuff where it don't belong
Did I ever tell you about the small jar of Vaseline I found
stuck in the toilet

or how about a key in the wall socket, that's always fun to watch LOL

 

Cuda, you must have very interesting kids. Mine would Never do stuff like that, hack, cough, choke, gag.

 

im glad i dont have any kids....lol i mean **** my cat drives me crazy somtimes....lol

 

Thanx for the education on the risk of kids in my vehicle. I have two and the oldest one being just over two is starting to put things where they don't belong.

 

Gotcha

Funny thing is, he learnt his lesson at a very early age, 2 years old,
never stuck a key in the socket again.....never been the same either

 

The truck is his dads and he never smokes so just never realized it was in there. Just next time watch out what goes in there that shouldnt lol. If not informed of that fuse making the port not work you search the truck inside out and it will make you look like a dumb *** in the end!!! Im 19 and never did anything that I shouldnt have or at least I thought my dad would tell a def story lol!! My lil brother that is now 15 thats a whole nother story!!!!!!

 

well when i was a kid i remember trying to fill up my dads gas tank with the garden hoes so he dident have to go to the gas station, i think i walked funny for about a week after that

 

Nice gesture. Funny as He** though.
