Driver's and Front Passenger's Accessory Power Socket Test/Replacement

Driver's and Front Passenger's Accessory Power Socket Test/Replacement

NOTE: If a both accessory power sockets do not work, check the No. 32 (10 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box first.

1. Remove the center lower console Dashboard Center Lower Cover Removal/Installation.

2. Disconnect the 2P connectors (A) from the accessory power sockets.





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. Choose the appropriate test:

- Driver's side, go to step 6.
- Passenger's side, go to step 9.

Driver's side

6. Measure the voltage between driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector H (14P) terminal No. 2 and body ground. There should be less than 0.2 V.

- If there is less than 0.2 V, go to step 7.
- If there is more than 0.2 V, check for:
- An open or high resistance in the wire between driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector H (14P) terminal No. 2 and body ground (G601).
- Poor ground (G601) or an open in the ground wire.

7. Measure the voltage between driver's accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground. There should be battery voltage.

- If there is battery voltage, go to step 8.
- If there is no voltage, check for:
- A blown No. 9 (15 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
- A faulty driver's accessory power socket relay.
- An open or high resistance in the wire between driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector N (45P) terminal No. 8 and driver's accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 1.

8. Check for continuity between driver's accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground. There should be continuity.

- If there is continuity, replace the accessory power socket; go to step 12.
- If there is no continuity, check for:
- An open in the wire between driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector N (45P) terminal No. 8 and driver's accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 1.
- Poor ground (G501) or an open in the ground wire.
- An open in the wire between driver's accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground (G501) .

Passenger's side ('07 model)

9. Measure the voltage between passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box connector E (14P) terminal No. 9 and body ground. There should be less than 0.2 V.

- If there is less than 0.2 V, go to step 10.
- If there is more than 0.2 V, check for:
- An open or high resistance in the wire between passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box connector E (14P) terminal No. 9 and body ground (G504)
- Poor ground (G504) or an open in the ground wire.

10. Measure the voltage between passenger's accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground. There should be battery voltage.

- If there is battery voltage, go to step 11.
- If there is no voltage, check for:
- A blown No. 9 (10 A) fuse in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box.
- A faulty passenger's accessory power socket relay.
- An open or high resistance in the wire between passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box connector G (14P) terminal No. 9 and passenger's accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 1.

11. Check for continuity between passenger's accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground. There should be continuity.

- If there is continuity, replace the accessory power socket; go to step 12.
- If there is no continuity, check for:
- Poor ground (G504) or an open in the ground wire.
- An open in the wire between passenger's accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground (G504).

12. Remove the socket (A).






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





14. Install the power socket in the reverse order of removal.
