1. Remove the center console panel (see «CENTER CONSOLE PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/gauges-instrument-panels/#consoles-4-cyl__center-console-panel-removalinstallation) ).
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 ACCESSORY (I).
5. Measure the voltage between driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector D (16P) terminal No. 14 and body ground. There should be less than 0.2 V. If there is less than 0.2 V, go to step 6. 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 D (16P) terminal No. 14 and body ground (G601). Poor ground (G601).
6. Measure the voltage between 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 7. If there is no voltage, check for: Blown No. 23 (20 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box. Faulty front accessory power socket relay. An open or high resistance in the wire between driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector P (20P) terminal No. 1 and front accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 1.
7. Check for continuity between front accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground. There should be continuity. If there is continuity, replace the power socket; go to step 8. If there is no continuity, check for: Poor ground (G503). An open or high resistance in the wire between the front accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground (G503).
8. Gently press the tabs (A), then remove the socket (B).
9. Remove the housing (A) from the panel. Note the location of the indexing tabs (B).
10. Install the power socket in the reverse order of removal.

Console Accessory Power Socket Test/Replacement

Note. If all the front and console accessory power sockets do not work, make sure the No. 18(7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and ground (G503) are OK.

1. Remove the center console panel (see «CENTER CONSOLE PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/gauges-instrument-panels/#consoles-4-cyl__center-console-panel-removalinstallation) ).
2. Disconnect the 2P connector (A) from the console 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 ACCESSORY (I).
5. Measure the voltage between console accessory power socket relay terminal No. 3 and body ground. There should be less than 0.2 V. If there is less than 0.2 V, go to step 6. If there is more than 0.2 V, check for: An open or high resistance in the wire between console accessory power socket relay terminal No. 3 and body ground (G503). Poor ground (G503).
6. Measure the voltage between console accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground. There should be battery voltage. If there is battery voltage, go to step 7. If there is no voltage, check for: Blown No. 12 (20 A) fuse in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box. Faulty console accessory power socket relay. An open or high resistance in the wire between console accessory power socket relay terminal No. 1 and console accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 1.
7. Check for continuity between console accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground. There should be continuity. If there is continuity, go to step 8. If there is no continuity, check for: Poor ground (G401). An open or high resistance in the wire between the front accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground (G401).
8. Gently press the tabs (A), then remove the socket (B).
9. Gently press the tabs (A), then remove the housing (B) from the panel. Note the location of the indexing tabs (C).
10. Install the power socket in the reverse order of removal.

Cargo Area Accessory Power Socket Test/Replacement

Note. If all of the front, console, and cargo area accessory power sockets do not work, make sure the No. 18 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box is OK.

1. Remove the left cargo area side trim panel (see «TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION - CARGO AREA»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/exteriorinterior-trim/#interior-trim-4-cyl__trim-removalinstallation-cargo-area) ).
2. Disconnect the 2P connector (A) from the cargo area 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 ACCESSORY (I).
5. Measure the voltage between cargo area accessory power socket relay terminal No. 3 and body ground. There should be less than 0.2 V. If there is less than 0.2 V, go to step 6. If there is more than 0.2 V, check for: Poor ground (G503). An open or high resistance in the wire between cargo area accessory power socket relay terminal No. 4 and body ground (G503).
6. Measure the voltage between cargo area accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground. There should be battery voltage. If there is battery voltage, go to step 7. If there is no voltage, check for: Blown No. 16 (15 A) fuse in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box. Faulty cargo area accessory power socket relay. An open or high resistance in the wire between cargo area accessory power socket relay terminal No. 1 and cargo area accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2.
7. Check for continuity between the cargo area accessory power socket terminal No. 2 and body ground. There should be continuity. If there is continuity, replace the power socket; go to step 8. If there is no continuity, check for: Poor ground (G601). An open or high resistance in the wire between cargo area accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground (G601).
8. Gently press the tabs (A), then remove the socket (B).
9. Gently press the tabs (A), then remove the housing (B) from the panel. Note the location of the indexing tabs (C).
