I have the fuse right in front of me and I can see it is blown.
How long would the CEL stay on after the event. If for just a short period I might have missed it although I doubt it. I pay close attention to all functions.

OBD port with a blown fuse will not cause a CEL. You just won't be able to monitor or communicate with the vehicles modules via a Tech II.

Coincidence ? edit: after further study, I have to believe it is a coincidence.

Just found this thread.

If you decide to replace the well as I did, because there were burn marks(arcing) on the inside, also rust. If you go with an aftermarket (think autozone, pepboys,etc) before you start, get a couple of 7/8" ID X 1 1/4" OD thin washers, unless you can get the bezel off of the old port. 2006LT, underhood panel, #29=LTR(15A)front, #30=PWR outlet(30A)rear.

FWIW...If you are replacing with stock one, you may not have to remove the trim piece, look inside the well, you will see a grove, turn the groove to about the 1;o clock position, turn back, and forth while pulling out, the tab that holds it in place will line up with a notch and it may come out that way.

Hope this helps..Bill

GM sells the OEM one for about $1 more than the ones you have to "modify" to work. There is also a special tool made for it.
