OBC probs

Can anyone help me troubleshoot my obc. It's getting power because the lights are lit. (I replaced them all btw)
I haven't traced the wire(s) yet but if all else fails I'm going to tear out my interior to do so.

I'm going to list everything I've checked so far.

1.) fuses
2.) wires in the connector
3.) under the dash (haven't found anything out of the ordinary)
4.) ????

Fuse under back seat? Make sure the OBC sits tight? I can ship you another unit i think I have it if you pay for shipping and $5 handling/beer :P

Replaced EVERY fuse in the car lol, then took apart the whole front of the interior trying to trace a wire that seems to just disappear. All the wires leading up to the OBC seem to be plugged in, the fuse is not blown so I have no idea what's causing it not to work. Like I said above, it's getting power, just no info for the screen. Other than what I saw in the dash is there any more junctions the OBC wires go through? Does it get info from the DME? sorry I'm asking a lot of questions but it's been a year since I got the car and since then I've basically fixed everything but this and the seat. If worst comes to worst I'm gonna pucker up and get ready to be raped at the dealer.

Honestly I don't know.. my OBC was dead when I got it and I did not bother tracing the wires after another unit failed to work with proper fuse.
