you cant get it on upside down. when you plug it in make sure it is all the way in and wiggle the connection to see if anything pops up

it should come online without the key on, so if it doesnt and you are sure it is all the way plugged in then you've probably got wiring issues

see if the OBD2 connector has power, if not trace the wiring to see where the break is

use a mulimeter. ground the black, then touch the tabs of the connector and it should say 12.6 or close to that
