Check your cig lighter fuse (or verify the correct fuse in your owner's manual).

Then it sounds like the connector is bad (it does happen more often than you'd think).

I've heard the pins can get bent as well as pushed into the connector too far (won't make connection to the device).

I'd double check the fuse. Replace it even if it looks good, There is no good reason for and OBD port to "go bad".
