Kathryn,you other post asks do buy it.

how to you know the partnumber if not found yet.
why do you think it is bad.
did you scan the OBD2 port with a scan tool and see,
collision sensor errors
for Yaw, roll stability.?
best is to tell the error first or get wrong parts.

Yaw, roll stability. Rotational Speed. Stability Control Vehicle Turn Rate. Suspension.

I car has it!
It is under the center floor console.
You remove the center console and it's bolted to the floor.
Slide the seats forward and remove the two rear bolts on the console, then move them back and remove the trim ring around the shifter. Remove the storage bin and upper finish panel,
now remove the remaining bolts and remove the console.

it is bolted to the body floor pan, dead center of car,
under the center console.

check the center console - glovebox for the usb port and check for damage or debris

Not sure USB needs a fuse.

However see 36 Data Link Connection on instrument panel fuse box The instrument panel fuse block is located on the passenger side panel of the center console.

If you are getting power to the fuse, I would check continuity from the fuse to the port itself. Personally, I would check every fuse you have to ensure you are getting power to the left and right of the fuse with the KOEO. It may be running though a different fuse than you expect. It should run through the wires and fuse marked accessory or CIG LGT.

98% of the time it is a fuse, so I am surprised that is not it.

Also check your ground coming from the port.

Are you having any other electrical problems?

TRY SOME WD 40 AND LUBE THE LATCH AND KEEP TRYING IT SHOULD BREAK LOOSE

Check for disconected seat belt sensor underneath the seats, check for broken cables.

I have a 2007 CRV which had the same issue. I fixed this by:
- first removing the AUX port cover by carefully prying it up from both the rear-facing and front-facing edges. Once done, this exposes the AUX port mechanism itself.
- Using some needlenose plyers, I pulled out the AUX port component. It simply slides out.
- The trick now is to PUSH the broken piece out of the inside of the port. To do this, I first removed the "cover" that is covering the end of the port (opposite from the opening to the port). Be very careful with this step as you don't want to break the cover. It's very thin plastic.
- Once this cover is removed, I used a pin to push the piece that was lodged inside back out of the opening.
Reassembly was the opposite of this and was quick.
Hope that helps.
