Hi, my old Snap-On Solus Pro has a Land Rover port (LR1) that plus in to my cars diagnostic point but, the screen says there's no power from the vehicle so it can't work. I can't find a picture of a 'live' one anywhere, I think I've managed to put pictures of mine on. Any ideas what's missing or how I get power to it to do a diagnostic check

Thanks in advance.

Have you checked all the fuses?

The plug half of he connector looks to only have one wire in it, so that is not going to work.

The Range Rover diagnostic port on the Range Rover classic is behind the passenger seat in the USA
So in the UK it must be behind the drivers seat...

Didn't see it behind the drivers seat but I will have another look. The above pictures show the lead that goes back on itself and the plug in port I found has 3 wires, not 2. The snap-on kit plugs in to the one with 3 wires when you un-plug the one with one wire, which makes a circuit for ? I've checked fuses but, it's worth doing another check, I know what I'm like LOL

The green wire is a retaining wire so you don’t lose the cover / cap

OK, many thanks, ordered the 'hotwire' so lets see (hopefully) what happens when i plug that in, ever the optimist. Wiring diagrams are fantastic, however, being a simpleton, I can't read them but, at least it shows where I'm looking is the right connector (its' that damned optimist again). It's on my friends farm so I won't be doing it today and, I also need to get it running again first see 'Central locking cock-up' post/thread. Cheers.
