License plate light out of order

I have changed the license plate light several days ago but both bulbs doesn't work; after the testing of the bulbs, it works. I'm not sure but I think should be the the fuse chip of license plate light broken. However, I can't locate the license plate light after open the fuse box; even no description. Question: 1.) Is that the problem of fuse chip if the license plate out of order? 2.) If so, does the A4 with two sets of fuse box since I can't locate the fuse of license plate light? I can only locate the fuse box at the side of the dashboard. Thanks.

Get your hands on a manual......(OEM or Hanes, etc) either online or from someone who owns the same car. It's the only way to find the correct fuse to see if that's the problem.You could start by checking the color code of the wires to the light........then look for the same color back at the panel.....but that's a pain.Good luck, buddy!

SOURCE: My license plate went out on my 2003 Pontiac Vibe.

A fuse would put the tail lights out as well. Probably a fault in the wiring to the light.

SOURCE: license's plate light stopped working even with new bulb.

It wouldn't be a fuse if that's the only light that's not working, I believe all of the parking lights are on the same fuse. It's most likely a bad ground or corrosion inside the socket where the bulb makes the electrical connection. So check the socket to make sure it has no corrosion, if it does, clean it up and apply some dielectric grease (available at any parts store) to prevent future corrosion, and check for a loose or broken ground wire.

Tail lights work but why don't license plate lights?

The license plate lights have their own separate bulbs. If you are able to replace the bulbs, that may solve your problem. If not, you may have a loose or rusted connection to the plate bulbs only. If you are able to gain access, you may want to check the condition of the harness that supplies the power to the license plate portion. Good luck and have a great day.

License plate lights arent working

You didn't forget to pull the headlight switch to check them? That's odd, usually license plate lights are spliced in from the tail light circuit.
There may be a separate ground for the license lights-if so, should be right nearby the bulbs. Use a test light or voltmeter and make sure fuse 22 has power. You could also check the sockets for power. If you have power to the socket and new bulbs don't work, it would be a grounding problem.

Is there a fuse for the license plate light

the license light uses the same fuse as the tailights so it they work its not a fuse.check the bulb then check with a test light for power to the socket centre contact and check for a good ground connection buy connecting the test light to a good power source and touching the probe to the side of the socket.if it lights with both of these test then the bulb is no good.if it doesn`t light up you need to find the problem wether its powe supply or a bad ground.the power wire for the light is brown and you can locate it in the wire loom.
