  3. Carefully pry the accessory power socket out from the rear console cover.
  4. 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 5.
  5. Turn the ignition switch ACC (I), and check for voltage between the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals.
    • There should be battery voltage.
    • If there is no battery voltage, check for:
      • Poor ground (G401, G501).
      • An open in the wire.
      • Blown No. 18 (15 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
