I have changed the bulbs for license plate light. No luck. The other lights all function so I don't believe its a fuse. The manual does not show a fuse exclusively for the license tag. Any thoughts ?

Hi,Lift Up The rear door ,there should be a rubber grommet where it goes thru the body, put back the grommet and look at the wires see if any are broken.it's common ,from opening and closing the door.after a while from bending, the wires break.Also remove The rear panel And see If the Tag lights are connected to the wiring.They may just be unplugged too.Maybe Someone Forgot To plug Them in.



Hope This Helps You,
Good Luck

Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

I Agree, check the power supply, and the earth ensure that the globe holder is not corroded as well.
