    I was hooking up after market fan system and a a little short. Then car won't start shift to any position park neutral etc.
    Checked fuses all are good as far as I can tell. Can't read codes as port is not communicating to one reader. Any ways to fix this looked up old posts nothing helped yet.

    Does your car have a similar fuse box above the parking brake as the Prius in this video? Around the 3 minute mark, he shows where the OBD port gets power from a 7.5 amp fuse in that box.

    Tried pulling the 12 volt battery lead and seeing if that clears the system?
