ok need to bring this back....
checked this out yesterday and the fuse to the cig ligher is good, all wiring looks right ...
but the computer reader under the dash and the cig lighter doesn't work.
what I have done that might have caused it was switch the dash peice from around radio but no wires had to be cut or changed for that.
I also removed the stock steering wheel and replaced it with a momo steering wheel in which i had to remove the air back?
I needed to do my emissons like yesterday so any advised is much thanked

Removed computer from car left out for a while. placed back in car, check engine light came off, (but came back on after some driving) and the computer reader (or what ever you call it) still isn't being read, so i check the scanner again and it works just fine, ran down to autozone tried there scanners no good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

did you just look at the fuse or have you tried a new one in it's spot? sometimes they look fine but are still blown.

FWIW my wife's car was throwing a CEL and had an erratic idle, but I never could pull the code. Ended up being the ECM.
