OBD II plug not working..
Well I brought my new 97 Volvo home.. I fixed the major oil leak that it had from the Oil return line.. The engine line has been on since I bought, so I thought I would go to AutoZone and get the codes read.. Well when we plugged in 2 diff scanners none of them would even turn on.. Anyone know any reason why they dont work and where can I get some info on fixing the OBD II plug..
Also this is the plug below the radion .....
Model is a 97 850 GLT.

Do these attachments help?
I'll delete them in the next few days, so be sure to save them inyour PC.

The OBDII port needs to have a power supply for a scanner to work with it, well at least any scanner I've used. In a GM (chev, buick, pontiac, ... ) it's common to ask the owner if the cigarette lighter is working if the scanner won't hook up. I found out from a GM tech that the ALDL or OBDII port is on the same circuit as the cigarette lighter and if they pop that fuse and you plug in a scanner it doesn't self turn on. If you power the scanner up you get "Scanner unable to connect" or something similar depending on the model of the scanner.
On our 850s it's on the circuit with the interior lights. If they are out, then it's likely the circuit is dead and a scanner will not be able to connect.
You should check to see if all your fuses are good. After that you might want to try a wiring diagram to see which pin is the power supply pin in that connector.
