Morning guys,

In need of some help here.

Rear number plate lights don't work which is an mot failure. The bulbs were blown and have been replaced but still dont work.

I'm looking at the fuse layout and there's no mention of which fuse controls the rear number plate lights.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Mike
 
Have you cleaned up the contacts at all? Could be that they're corroded given the position on the car.
 
Connectors are fine and I've pushed the clips out slight to give a better contact.

None of the fuses are an issue, all seem in tact.
 
I have a pair which I removed when I replaced with an LED fitment. They work, let me know if you would like them if the diagnosis proves them faulty.

Just seen you're in North Cambs Mike, I'm going to be near Thrapston on Saturday early evening if you're nearby and would like them?
 
They share an earth so a meter on ohms and see if there is an earth .. the feed for both come from the rear end control unit which is located under the pasenger seat .. have a look there just to make sure theres no water .. old drink bottles etc .

So .. you need a volt meter to check for a feed at the lights and an ohms meter to check for an earth .. if you dont have a feed then there is an issue with the rear control unit .. might need a garage to check it for fault codes etc.
