No signal from obd II port
Excuse me if I'm hitting some idiot notes here, since I've only owned my 1996 non-turbo 850 wagon for four days. Yesterday, wouldn't you know it, the check engine light came on. I plugged in an Actron CP9125 code scanner to check what might be wrong. I'm getting absolutely nothing on the scanner — it doesn't seem to be turning itself on, though it works fine on my 2000 Saturn. Later I'll try to pop the plug-in on the console obd port and check for loose wires. But I'm wondering if this is a familiar and maybe easily resolved problem. Advice?

it's the fuse, sort of
Fuse was the right answer to part of this problem. Turns out that the fuse was blown. I put a new one in, got an instant snap, crackle and pop, and then that one was dead, too. The scan port is on the same circuit as:
Audio System, Courtesy Lights, Door Open Light, Trunk Light,
Glove Box Light, Remote Control Central Locking System,
Oil Level Sensor, Seat Belt Reminder.
My thinking at the moment is that the previous owner installed a new radio and maybe did some funny business with the wiring. But if this is one of those common problems that every old hand knows about, please let me know.
