Can a dash cam connect to the OBD port?
So yes, the OBD port’s power pin (battery positive 16): So except for the fact that you will/could drain the battery, connecting a dash cam to the ODB II port should not give any problems.
Can a cigarette lighter be powered by an OBD port?
If your cigarette lighter is only powered when the engine is on you can use either of a couple of obd power supplies on Amazon and with a similar switch and they are very inexpensive. So I would not just kludge in a couple of wires to my obd port.
Is there no power at the OBDII port?
Even replaced it with a known good fuse, but still no power to the Cigar lighter or the OBDII port. I just did a quick test with my multi-meter and I do have power on one side of the blade fuse socket, but nothing at the OBDII port or at the lighter. Has anyone run across this before?
Is the OBDII fuse on my cigar lighter dead?
I went to plug my SCT programmer into my 2005 F350 OBDII port yesterday and it had a blank screen. My initial reaction was that the SCT was dead, but I decided to look up the fuse layout in the Owners Manual. I noticed that my primary cigar lighter is listed as “Cigar lighter/OBDII” in the Owners Manual.
