First double check whether fuse 24 (under dash) or 46 (under hood) are blown.

Next test the PW relay in the under-dash fuse box.

Visual inspection is usually sufficient to see whether a fuse is blown. The internal metal wire connecting the two terminals will be broken.

To test the relay, you'll need both a continuity tester and a source of battery power (your car battery). You can purchase an inexpensive continuity tester from an auto parts or hardware store.
