we brought it to his friend who has a scanner and the first guy could not get any communication from the snap-on scanner, so the next guy we went to only got a code 1698 i think which turns out to be no communication with something or other,

i got fed up running around all day getting parts and stuff that i left my car down in toronto with my buddy so he can take his time with it, he thinks we have some kind of wiring or connection problem

anyone else with any ideas or similar circumstances please tell

thanks
The first and only thing that needs to be done is have the scanner communicate with the car.

A few things could be going on here.
Check for blown fuses.
Some snap-on scanners have version conflicts with Dodge.
There is a relay to power up the TCM called the EATX relay. You can swap this with reverse light relay, which is right next to it.
Sometimes unplugging and plugging the TCM connector a few times cleans corrosion off the terminals and it will power up.

If you must guess, try to make an educated guess.
