Turn the ignition switch to ACCESSORY (I), and measure the voltage between console accessory power socket A 2P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground. There should be battery voltage.
- If there is battery voltage, go to step 5.

  - Faulty console accessory power socket A relay.
  - Poor ground (G801).
  - An open or high resistance in the wire.
Check for continuity between console accessory power socket A 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground. There should be continuity.
- If there is continuity, replace the power socket; go to step 6.

  - Poor ground (G801).
  - An open or high resistance in the wire.
