OBD Connector Replacement
Having problems getting my code reader to communicate. I can get my reader to power on but it won't establish communication (Autozone reader couldn't communicate either). Looking at the connector, I think I have a few bent pins inside. I can't figure out how to remove the wires from the plug to see if I can repair them. Any suggestions or am I stuck with a new wiring harness???

You can buy the pins at the dealer. You will need an extractor and crimper to put them on the wires. Snap-On can get you those tools. You can visit an Auto electric shop if you re not comfortable replacing the terminals yourself.
