  3. Inspect the connector terminals to 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.
  4. Turn the ignition switch to ACC (I).
  5. 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. 12 (15 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
      • - Faulty rear accessory power socket relay.
      • - Faulty rear junction box.
      • - Poor ground (G702, G652).
      • - An open in the wire.
  6. 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 (G702).
      • - An open in the wire.
  7. Remove the housing (A), cover (B) and socket (C).
