2. Disconnect the 2P connector (A) from the front accessory power socket (B).

3. 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.

4. Turn the ignition switch to ACCESSORY (I).

5. Measure the voltage between front accessory power socket relay terminal No. 3 and body ground. There should be less than 0.2 V.
- If there is less than 0.2 V, go to step 6.

- If there is more than 0.2 V, check for:
- Poor ground (G503) or an open in the ground wire.

- An open or high resistance in the wire between front accessory power socket relay terminal No. 3 and ground (G503).

6. Measure the voltage between front accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground. There should be battery voltage.
- If there is battery voltage, go to step 7.

- If there is no voltage, check for:
- A blown No. 29 (15 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

- A faulty front accessory power socket relay.

- An open or high resistance in the wire between front accessory power socket relay terminal No. 2 and front accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 1.

7. Check for continuity between front accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground. There should be continuity.
- If there is continuity, replace the power socket; go to step 8.

- If there is no continuity, check for:
- Poor ground (G502) or an open in the ground wire.

- An open in the wire between front accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and ground (G502).





8. Remove the socket (A).






9. Remove the housing (A) from the panel.
