HELP - Blobeye Wrx OBD2 port not working
Hi guys, engine light came on the other day and I know why....fitted a hks dump valve. Yes lesson learnt
Refitted oem recirc valve but obviously still have the light on dash. I plugged in my bluetooth elm327 dongle into the obd port but nothing, no power to the unit. The previous owner has had the ecu remapped last year so the port has definitely worked in the past. This is the first time I have had to check the obd port. I went to check the wires of the port, see pictures. Does everything seems ok? I've checked every fuse visually in the engine bay and by the fuse box near the port itself. Anyone in particular I need to check?
Im not very good when it comes to electrics so anyone local that could have a look? Im in West London but don't mind travelling. Worst case scenario is to have it checked out by a professional.
Thanks in advance

sometimes the pins can bend on the port so you don't get any reading from them even when fully inserted. Try and reseat the cables in the back (a little push should do it) and then check the pins (maybe a little adjustment with a screwdriver) to make sure your getting a solid connection when they are pushed into the connector.

Thanks for the tip, I did read that the pins can get loose or not be seated properly. I did try to push the wires from back. The pins seem ok when you look at the front of the port.

Pin 5 signal earth
All obd2 sockets are the same if you dont have one of them then it wont work. Test with a multimeter if you have one, if not you can use the old method of bulb and some wire.
