Does your cig lighter work? May be blown fuse.

Just checked it works. Do i need to change the vin number on the tune to my vin? do i need to change to a script and run it as one? not that i know how!!

Changing the VIN has no impact, and won't be causing the issue you describe.

I'm having the same problem, so what's the fix?

From memory Sleepers problem was battery voltage.

Can you please explain EXACTLY what message you are getting. And also have you been able to read/tune/use the scan tool in the past?

Some quick tips are:
Software/Firmware up to date (At least March 30 2010)
Cig lighter works (if not replace the fuse)
EFILive sends a silence command to aftermarket items, however some are not programmed to listen to these commands (disconnect ipod adaptors, aftermarket alarm/remote entry).
Key is on the ON position not accessories and the motor is not running.
Doors on the vehicle are closed.

Cheers
