    Maybe your ECM isn't getting power? Could explain the no power to the diagnostic port.

    Some trucks have a five amp fuse that supplies the data port

    The oldest book I have is for 98 and newer. F6-A shows it is the fuse for the datalink connector. 5 amp. If you turn the key on, you should get the yellow and red engine warning lights coming on for a bulb test. If they do not come on, the ECM is not booting.

    ECM has constant battery power and grounds then is turned on separately by ignition power. So it could be losing any of those. ECM failure is the other possibility.
