- If the terminals look OK, go to step 4.

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

5. Measure the voltage between terminal No. 1 and body ground. There should be battery voltage.

- If there is no battery voltage, check for:
- Blown No. 28 (15 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
- Faulty cargo area accessory power socket relay.
- An open or high resistance in the wire.

6. Measure the voltage between terminal No. 1 and No. 2. There should be battery voltage.

- If there is battery voltage, go to step 7.
- If there is no battery voltage, check for:
- Poor ground (G602).
- An open or high resistance in the ground wire.

7. Gently press tabs (A) and remove the socket (B).
