2. Align the insulator cover of the battery-cable terminal and close the cover (Figure 9).

   Note: Closing the cover tightens the battery cable clamp.

3. Plug the cord of a low-power device into the socket of the accessory port. Ensure that the port supplies 12 VDC to an attached device.

   Note: If the accessory port does not supply 12 VDC, check the fuse and electrical connections.

Parts needed for this procedure:

1. Remove the protective rubber cap from the socket of the accessory port (Figure 12).

2. Check the socket for moisture and dirt.

   If you see moisture or dirt, dry and clean the socket.

3. Plug power cord of the 12 VDC device into the accessory port.

1. Remove the power cord of the 12 VDC device from the accessory port.

2. Install the protective rubber cap onto the port; refer to Figure 12 in Connecting Low-Power Device to the Accessory Port.

• Check the socket for moisture and dirt.

  • Dry and clean the socket as needed.

  • Check the condition of the rubber cap.

• Check that the drain holes in the socket are clear of dust and debris.

• Apply a light coat electrical grease to the contacts in the socket.
