Carefully pry the accessory power socket out from the dashboard.
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.
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).
  - An open in the wire.
  - Blown No. 18 (15 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
