  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. 2 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. 9 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/ relay box.
      • Blown No. 32 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/ relay box.
      • Faulty rear accessory power socket relay.
      • Poor ground (G401).
      • An open in the wire.
  6. Check for continuity between the No. 1 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 (G501).
      • An open in the wire.
  7. Remove the socket (A).
