Inspect the connector terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
- If the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary and recheck the system.
- If the terminals look OK, go to step 4.
Turn the ignition switch to ACC (I).
Check for voltage between the power accessory socket 2P connector No. 1 terminal and body ground. There should be battery voltage.
- If there is battery voltage, go to step 6.
- If there is no battery voltage, check for:
  - Blown No. 29 (15 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
  - Faulty front accessory power socket relay.
  - An open in the wire.
Check for continuity between the No. 2 terminal and body ground. There should be continuity.
- If there is continuity, go to step 7.
- If there is no continuity, check for:
  - Poor ground (G 503).
  - An open in the wire.
Remove the socket (A).
