obd2 no power

[Fordman 9399]

I installed a superchips flashpaq on my truck the other night. At first I didn't have power to it and i replaced the fuse that was still good and wiggled the harness under the dash and it magically started working. Had power to it all day and showed my gr it about never worked since. I was thinking a bad ground somewhere? Any input is much appreciated thanks guys

Fordman9399, what truck are you referring to?? There are a bunch of them, so a year and model would help a lot. Fill out your signature by going to the Quick Links in the second blue line and click on Edit Signature and fill it out.

I hope someone comes on here to help, cause I have no idea whats going on here for this guy.

what are we wiggling?

"harness under the dash" don't really nail it down.

what connector are you wiggling and where?

 

[Fordman 9399]

The harness for the obd2 plug

 

[JLDickmon]

my guess would be it's got a distorted terminal

Do you mean in the plug itself on the harness or in my flashpaq? Because I have another plug and complete harness that I could patch in there out of my dads old 99
