There are only two fuseboxes right? Driver side and hood.

you should have power on pin 16 of obd

diBreezy · 11-29-2015, 07:07 PM

Intermittent power to pin 16

Also, all the fuses are fine.

EDIT: And just for clarification. Battery is fine.

its probably the obd socket , you might have to try to remove pin 16 and crimp it a bit or get a replacement pin.

or just put some forwards or backwards pressure on oft plug in obd port to maintain good connection maybe rubberband or tape ect just to get you reflashed then fix problem when you get home

If I remember correctly there were issues with 2013 FR-S having fragile pins on the obd II port at some point correct?

IT WORKED!

Flashed Stage 1. Had to hold it in there by hand the whole time. Car is currently running. Whooooo!!!

Thank you everyone for your input and consideration. Double, triple, quadruple thanks to /u/steve99.

djBreezy: so you fixed it, congrats. But take note what caused issue (weak connector) and think something for future to workaround/fix it to not have that happen again. For example i probably would buy some adapter cable and connect OFT rather to it, then connecting many times to/from original weak connector. Even better if said adapter OBD cable would come with some power switch so that one can connect when needed OFT to it (for eg. logging @track), and easily switch off to not drain battery without replugging anything.
