Good evening all i have ford ranger XLT 2005 with ABS light on. i have just bought the 17 pin diagnostic lead, when plugged in does not provide power to my OBD reader. I have tried accessing using ELM327 and FORSCAN but unable to communicate. any advice please ?

 

Check the fuse to the cigarette lighter.

 

On a 2005 Ranger its Fuse 29(20amp) in Cab fuse box, passenger side kick panel

 

Thanks for this information but I'm unable to locate the fuse box on the passenger side. The only 2 fuse boxes i can find is 1 engine bay and 1 understeering wheel. I have took the passenger trim off near the door but unable to locate. Any Ideas ?

Thanks

 

Are you in North America?

If not, I have no idea where the fuse box is in a Mazda BT-50 based Ranger, they are different than ours.
