Power loss
So I went to hook up Hp tuners to my car this morning and there was no power to my OBDII port, I did have power last night though. I check the manual and did not see a fuse for it. Is there something Im missing or what?

If no one comes up with the answer before I get home, I will look it up and provide it to you this evening.

Both my Cigarette lighter and auxiliary power in the center console have power, I guess I should have mentioned that before hand. Ill go check and see if there are any codes right now.

Well the only two codes that are pertinent to this are 80 Radio U1064H and U1016H. Dont know why I didnt think of looking for that this morning, but anyways does the loss of communication have anything to do with the door control module? I know I have heard a lot of people having trouble with that. It is 70* outside today and has been in the low 30's so there is a lot of condensation, not sure if that has anything to do with that.

It means that you have a leak and the area under the carpets are soaked. The longer the interior has moisture in it, the worse the electrical system well deteriorate. Ask me how I know?
I had a clogged HVAC drain that continued to leak for several months. The BCM starting having some very strange issues
.. So, I pulled out the BCM and opened it up. The back of the circuit board had lots of white deposits and corrosion and some of the circuit traces were starting to deterorate.SO,,, Move the drivers and passengers seat fully forward and on the rear wall behind the seats, you will see that you can lift it up the carpet flap. Lift it and slide your hand under the floor carpet and the padding (jute underlayment) and see if either side is wet or damp in the area under the seat.
Let me know what you find.

If you have CONDENSATION inside the car, and on the inside the windows,,THATS BAD!

This just seems really odd that I have no power to it and none of the codes have popped up. Could this be a ground problem?

Yes I know I had the car running at one point, the codes have not popped back up but I still dont have power to the OBDII port. I will check that fuse tomorrow although my cigarette lighter still works.

The correct fuse is:
Instrument Panel Fuse Panel. Fuse #29, C/LALDL 10 AMP

It was that fuse, I had just been told that it used the cigarette lighter fuse by several different people and was thinking that may have been the same fuse. Anyways do you think it could have blown because of the loss of communication which I am assuming was cause by all the moisture in the air.

There really shouldn't be any reason for it to blow as far as the data link is concerned. Its power for you scanner or other OBDII devices. The LOSS of COMMS has nothing to do with that issue or vise versa
You may have a courtesy lamp issue some where.

The only thing that fuse powers is the OBDII connector on that one pin and the Courtesy Lamps thru relay #42 CTSL.\LP.

Either way I dont have much time left to track down the problem so I will leave it for my dad to deal with until I get back in June.
