Well i got my retune from Allen Nelson today and couldn't wait to get home and write it. After 2 hours of trying everything under the sun to try to get it to connect I gave up. I kept getting "Interface connected but no power from vehicle check cables and turn key to run position." So I changed usb and reinstalled drivers and still nothing. I managed to clear the logs from MVPI so that kind of told me that it was the obd2 cable or port. For $hits and giggles I drove up to AutoZone and had them do a free scan and they couldn't connect either. I had my mechanic check for any leaks in the sts setup a few weeks ago and he hooked up his Snapon scanner trying to be helpful in removing SES light. Needless to say I think something happend when he was connected. My question is how can I get this fixed, Is it a real pain to add a new obd2 port or does it have another clip further up the line that I can just unplug and add the new harness? Any help would be appreciated if anyone has been down this road. It just never ends with this project.

 

Check your cigarette lighter fuse.

 

 

I will do just that, i saw a thread on hptuners that involved a guy with a colbaltss and something about the cigarette lighter causing a prob. Thanks for the input and i'll try that first thing in the morning. Thanks for the fast response fellas.

 

Hopefully it'll be that, and not a broken wire somewhere in the dash like the tbss I tried to tune last weekend.

 

Bingo, wife had a paperclip laying in it. You guys rock, where do I send the 30 packs of beer to?
