Dead OBD port!
My car flashed the SES light at me yesterday, so I stopped by autozone on my way home from work to get the code read. Anyhow, the tech hooked up his scanner, and it stayed blank (car was off).. He tested the scanner on his own vehicle, and it worked fine.. Since the car runs OK I'm assuming that the problem isn't the PCM .. so I think it must be wiring or the connector. Just wondering if anyone here has any insight on what the problem might be.

correct..... i have a 95 Z28 and I work at autozone. The 95's have an OBDI computer with an OBDII port in the kick board....its quite the bitch but its what GM decided to be stupid with.

being a 96 im 100% sure it should have an OBDII computer with an OBDII port..... therefore should work.. You might have to take the kick panel off and make sure there aren't any wires that are unplugged from the back of the port..
