I turned my truck off at night. In the morning I turned it on and the check engine light was on. A couple weeks ago the check engine light was blinking and was runny rough. So I added sea foam to it and it made it one hundred times better. Also, the obd11 reader or is not reading from the truck. I have tried multiple readers and all say they cannot connect to the truck/computer.

Hello,

There is a fuse #41 that powers the ALDL connector. Here is a guide to help you check the fuse and the location of the fuse with the wiring diagrams for the connector to help you see how it works:
