Others here have had this issue, some were able to remedy it by pushing in the back of the port while trying to connect. Sometimes the pins become loose and when you try and hook up they back out.

Nope. Only one. Ford has their connectors under the hood. (at least, they used to....)

Reset the PCM by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. Try your scanner again.
