Front Accessory Power Socket Test/Replacement

Front Accessory Power Socket Test/Replacement

NOTE: If all of the front and console accessory power sockets do not work, check the No. 18 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and ground (G503) first.

1. Remove the center console panel.

2. Disconnect the 2P connector (A) from the front 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 ACC (I).

5. Measure the voltage between the front accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground. There should be battery voltage.
- If there is battery voltage, go to step 6.

- If there is no battery voltage, check for:
- Blown No. 23 (15 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.

- Faulty front accessory power socket relay.

- Poor ground (G601).

- An open in the wire.

6. Check for continuity between the front accessory power socket terminal No. 2 and body ground. There should be continuity.
- If there is continuity, replace the power socket; go to step 7.

- If there is no continuity, check for:
- Poor ground (G503).

- An open in the wire.





7. Remove the socket (A).






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

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