downward until the mount latches fully engage the
mounting tabs on the stanchions.
(3) Install the two-holed eyelet of the battery wire
harness PDC take outs onto the two PDC B(+) termi-
nal studs.
(4) Install and tighten the nuts that secure the
eyelet of the battery wire harness PDC take outs to
the B(+) terminal studs. Tighten the nuts to 11.3
N·m (100 in. lbs.).
(5) Engage each of the retainers that secure the
headlamp and dash wire harness to the vehicle body
and chassis components. Refer to Connector Loca-
tions in Wiring Diagrams for the location of more
information on the headlamp and dash wire harness
retainer locations.
(6) Install all of the fasteners that secure each of
the headlamp and dash wire harness ground eyelets
to the vehicle body and chassis components. Refer to
Connector Locations in Wiring Diagrams for the
location of more information on the ground eyelet
locations.
(7) Reconnect each of the headlamp and dash wire
harness connectors. Refer to Connector Locations
in Wiring Diagrams for the location of more informa-
tion on the headlamp and dash wire harness connec-
tor locations. For connectors secured with bolts,
tighten the screws to 4.3 N·m (38 in. lbs.).
(8) Reconnect the battery negative cable.

POWER OUTLET

DESCRIPTION
One power outlet is installed in the vehicle. It is
located in the right rear quarter trim panel. The
power outlet base is secured by a snap fit within the
trim panel. A plastic protective cap snaps into the
power outlet base when the power outlet is not being
used, and hangs from the power outlet base mount
by an integral bail strap while the power outlet is in
use.
The power outlet receptacle unit and the accessory
power outlet protective cap are available for service.
The power outlet receptacle cannot be repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The power outlet base or receptacle shell is con-
nected to ground, and an insulated contact in the
bottom of the shell is connected to battery current.
8W-97 POWER DISTRIBUTION
The power outlet receives battery voltage from a fuse
in the Junction Block at all times.
While the power outlet is very similar to a cigar
lighter base unit, it does not include the two small
spring-clip retainers inside the bottom of the recepta-
cle shell that are used to secure the cigar lighter
heating element to the insulated contact.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER OUTLET
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to Power
Outlet in Wiring Diagrams.
(1) Check the fused B(+) fuse in the junction block.
If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the shorted cir-
cuit or component as required and replace the faulty
fuse.
(2) Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) fuse
in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK,
repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the battery as
required.
(3) Remove the plastic protective cap from the
power outlet receptacle. Check for continuity between
the inside circumference of the power outlet recepta-
cle and a good ground. There should be continuity. If
OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, go to Step 5.
(4) Check for battery voltage at the insulated con-
tact located at the back of the power outlet recepta-
cle. If not OK, go to Step 5.
(5) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Remove the power outlet receptacle from the
instrument panel. Disconnect the wire harness con-
nector from the power outlet receptacle. Check for
continuity between the ground circuit cavity of the
power outlet wire harness connector and a good
ground. There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step
6. If not OK, repair the open ground circuit to ground
as required.
(6) Connect the battery negative cable. Check for
battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of the
power outlet wire harness connector. If OK, replace
the faulty power outlet receptacle. If not OK, repair
the open fused B(+) circuit to the junction block fuse
as required.
