OBDII no power?

Dimon009 · 01-24-2012, 02:44 PM

Hey guys, am kinda a newbie but wanted to ask the forum before I take it to the dealer/mechanic.

I recently picked-up Valentine 1 with Savvy attachment (new little thing that V1 has that powers the radar from the OBDII port and also mutes it until a set speed by reading the information from the OBDII). Anyway, at first I thought that Savvy just wasn't compatible with the Z (because it works fine in my VW), but then I plugged in the OBDII reader and it wasn't able to pick up any information reading from the Z

... So I was wondering if somebody had any problems with their OBDII ports... Other than that, the car runs fine without any problems.

Thanks in advance!

If your OBD II port doesn't have any power and you are not getting an exterior chime when you unlock or lock the doors this may be your problem.

We took my wife's Z to get inspected for the first time and they were unable to because there was no power to the OBDII port. Thanks to the posters on this forum I fixed it in a snap!

Driver's side fuse box, which is behind the small panel on the left side of the driver's foot well.
