NOTE: If all of the front and console accessory power sockets do not work, check the No. 1 8 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and ground (G503) first.
1. Remove the center console panel (see page 20-157).
2. Disconnect the 2P connector (A) f r om the console 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 console 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: - An open or high resistance in the wire between console accessory power socket relay terminal No. 3 and body ground (G503).
- Poor ground (G503).
6. Measure the voltage between console 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. 12 (20 A) fuse in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box
- A faulty console accessory power socket relay
- An open or high resistance in the wire between console accessory power socket relay terminal No. 1 and console accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 1.
7. Check for continuity between the console accessory power socket 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 (G503).
- An open or high resistance in the wire between console accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground (G503).
8. Remove the socket (A).
9. Remove the housing (A) from the panel.
10. Install the power socket in the reverse order of removal.
