Car Scan Tool Not Communicating

[ther]

I have tried my scantool before and worked like a charm.

Today i got in the car and the air con was set on 3 and i could not stop it. I tried turning the car off and then on and the same thing. I turned the car off again then I was able to switch the air con off but the check engine light remained on while driving.

Got home and turned the car off and on again and the light stayed on. I went and got my scan tool to see what the issue was but the scan tool now is not communicating with my car at all. Not sure if the wires on the harness is not working although the last time i checked the car with the tool it worked fine.

Any ideas if there is a fuse that may be impeding the communication because it's burnt?

Thanks

Chris,

Checked the fuse box in the drivers side and they are all intact.. any other ideas?

Further info... after my last post when i got on the car the next day, the check engine light did not stayed on and was fine until today. this arvo it lit up and has stayed on. tried the scan tool again and once again not connection. Checked the fuses on the drivers and all ok.

Last sunday my left headlight blew (hid standard) and the rear lights didnt work unless the brake was presssed. checked the fuse box at the rear of the battery and a 15amp fuse was blown, i replaced that and everything was ok until the check engine light came up on wednesday.

At a loss as to why there is no comm between the car and the scan tool...

and one more thing my radio has been cutting out at times, got the mp3 player connected but once in a while the AUX bit does not light up for a few seconds then comes back on...i think i have gremlins in my car...
