so i got pulled over the other night for my licence plate lights not working, both of them. today i went and figured that its a fuse. well, the fuse isnt burnt out, and both lightbulbs are fine. so what gives?

 

Did you check to make sure the wires weren't cut? or broke?

 

fuse,bulbs,connections,wires,switch,check all that

 

I thihnk Mazzgirl did it out of spite


Nah, in all seriousness, check all your connections to them

 

LOL.... I was going to start my post with: Mazzman, if that is your real name,....

 

wires arent cut. whats the box that the wires lead into thats right above the spare tire?

 

What box? Mine hook up to the tail lights, so when the headlights are turned on the tag lights are on.

 

on my edge i see a box right above the spare tire. ill take a pic tomorrow

 

Yeah, Ihave the little box too, thats where my RECON bar installed into. Thats nothing but the wiring harness for a trailer. From what I gather, the license plate lights are wired directly to the tails (?) because they come on automatically. Just replace the fuse and bulbs. You should be fine.

 

don't know if you fixed this issue yet or not, but i know that one of my '01 license plate lights isnt working because the socket is all corroded. i cant seem to find the sockets anywhere, so i will have to rig something else up for inspection next month.

 

how do you know the bulbs aren't working? get new ones and you should be good to go they burn out all the time.

 

mine was so corroded that when i was trying to clean them, the metal contacts actually fell out. i bought a generic license plate socket today at autozone for $3.99, and will rig it up tomorrow. i can include pics if necessary.

 

trailer light hookups?

 

i have mine wired up like fog lights and set on a switch in my cab. works nicely when u **** ppl off or your tryn to not get ur plates called in.
