Accessory Socket Test/Replacement
Front Accessory Socket:
1. Remove the center dashboard lower cover (see sec-
tion 20).
Disconnect the 2P connector from the front accessory
socket.
Inspect the connector terminals to be sure they are
all making good contact.
2.
lf the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair
them as necessary, and recheck the system.
lf the terminals look OK, go to step 4.
ACCESSORYSOCKET
Turn the ignition switch to ACC (l), and check for
voltage between the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals.
. There should be battery voltage.
. lf there is no battery voltage, check for:- blown No.27 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash
fuse/relay box.- poor ground (G401, G402).- an open in the wire.

1.Pry the switch out of the dashboard. Be careful notto damage the mirror switch or the dashboard driv-er's lower cover when prying the switch out.Disconnect the 10P connector from the switch.Choose the appropriate test dased on the symptom:. Both mirrors don't work, go to step 4.. Left mirror doesn't work, go to step 6.. Right mirror doesn't work, go to step 7.

Rear Window Defogger
Function Test
1. Check for voltage between the positive terminal andbody ground with the ignition switch and defoggerswitch ON.
There should be battery voltage.
. lf there is no voltage. check for:- faulty defogger relay.- faulty defogger switch.- an open ,n the BLK/BLU, WHT/GRN, BLU/YEL,
or BLK wire.
. lf there is battery voltage, go to step 2.
POSITIVE TERMINAL
Check for continuity between the negative terminaland body ground.
lf there is no continuity, check for an open in thedefogger ground wire.
Touch the voltmeter positive probe to the halfwaypoint of each defogger wire, and the negative probe
to the negative terminal. Be careful not to scratch ordamage the defogger wires with the tester probe.There should be approximately 6 V with the ignitionswitch and the defogger switch ON.
. lf the voltage is as specified, the defogger wire isoK.
. lf the voltage is not as specified, repair the defog-ger wire.- lf it is more than 6 V, there is a break in thenegative half of the wire.- lf it is less than 6 V, there is a break in thepositive half of the wire.
23-112
Defogger Wire Repair
NOTE: To make an effective repair, the broken sectionmust be no longer than one inch.
1. Lightly rub the area around the broken section withfine steel wool, then clean it with alcohol.
2. Carefully mask above and below the broken portionof the defogger wire with cellophane tape.
CELLOPHANETAPE
Mix the conductive paint thoroughly. Using a smallbrush, apply a heavy coat of the conductive paint
extending about 1/8" on both sides of the break.Allow 30 minutes to dry.
Check for continuity in the repaired wire.
Apply a second coat of paint in the same way. Let itdry three hours before removing the tape.

. It the green light on the tool comes on, the air-
bag igniter circuit is defective and cannot deploy
the airbag. Go to Damaged Airbag Special
Procedure.
.lftheredlightonthetool comes on, the airbag is
ready to be deployed.
Push the tool's deployment switch. The airbag
should deploy (deployment is both highly audible
and visible; a loud noise and rapid inflation of the
bag, followed by slow deflation).
. lf the airbags deploy and the green light on the
tool comes on, continue with this procedure.
. lf an airbag doesn't deploy, yet the green light
comes ON, its igniter is defective. Go to Dam-
aged Airbag Special Procedure.
. During deployment, the airbag can become hot
enough to burn you, Wait thirty minutes after
deployment before touching the airbag.
Dispose of the complete airbag. No part of it can be
reused. Place it in a sturdy plastic bag, and seal it
securety.
CAUTION:
. Wear a faco shield and gloves when handling a
deployed airbag.
. Wash your hands and rinse them well with
water after handling a deployed airbag.

!@ r an airbag {or seat Beh rensioner} cannol
be doployod, it should not be treated as normal scrap; it
should still be considered a pot€ntially explosive device
lhat can cause serious iniury.
1. lf installed in a vehicle. follow the removal proce-
dure on page 24-3 and 24-87 through 90.
2. In all cases, make a short circuit by twisting together
the two airbag inflator wires.
3. Package the airbag in exactly the same packaging
that the new reDlacement Dart came in.
4. Mark the outside of the box "DAMAGED AIRBAG
{or TENSIONER) NOT DEPLOYED" so it does not
get confused with your parts stock.5. Contact your Honda District Service Manager forhow and where to return it for disposal.
