3.2CL, 3.2TL & MDX

Remove reverse relay from driver's underdash fuse/relay block. Check for continuity between terminals No. 1 and 2. Continuity should not exist. Using fused jumper wires, connect terminal No. 3 to battery voltage and terminal No. 4 to ground. See Fig 1. If continuity does not exist between terminals No. 1 and 2, replace relay.
