OBDII Port question
Does anyone know if the OBDII test port that's under the dash is fused?
The reason I ask is because yesterday I was trying to run a scan with my handheld on a buddies Explorer but I kept getting a "Link Error" code. So I went to my truck where I know the scanner works and tried it there. When I plugged the scanner in to my truck, it would not even power-up. I know the scanner works on my truck because I've used it before.
Any ideas?

Boy that was a fun time trying to get the xCal 2 to power up and it wouldn't because of that dinky fuse.

Thanks guys! The fuse was the problem.
I'm wondering though, what would have caused it to blow. I don't even use the cigarette lighter and rarely use the data port.
Oh well, it works now.

Congrats on the retirement! I retired from the Army in 2003. Feels good doesn't it.
