My license plate lights are not working. I have voltage at the trunk light (11.48 VDC), but not from the two license plate sockets when I turn the headlights on. I uncliped and removed the sockets in order to access direct voltage checks to the harness, and still no voltage. The fuse is good (#2 in boot fuse box according to the owners manual), and all rear lights operate like they should (back up, flashers, signal and brake). Is it possible that there are inline diodes for each light, or am I going about this the wrong way?

Could have poor ground wire use 12 volt test light check probe socket positive wire could be grey green wires and touch ground if test light works you have bad ground to license plate lights.and license plates lights have fuse control circuit.

SOURCE: no instrument panel, tail or side lights

If the fuses are OK maybe there's a cut off between wires from fuses going to your load (panel lights, side lights); or try to check your power relay.

No ac no heat no power to the to or maybe from the dash control panel

There are 6 bolts that hold the rear trunk panel on the trunk itself: 4 behind the license plate on the outside of the trunk and two inside the trunk panel trim.
1. Remove the license place from the DeVille rear trunk panel.
2. Remove the 4 bolts located below the license plate.
3. Remove the trunk panel (felt) trim inside the trunk.
4. There is a small bolt on each side of inside trunk panel (4mm I believe). Remove them. Each will have a rubber washer on them so you'll know you are removing the correct bolt.
5. From the outside of the trunk, lift out the rear trunk panel. The license plate light (and reverse lights) are removed by turning the light assemblies counter clockwise.

Do you have illustrations or instructions showing how to replace the license plate light bulbs for the 2003 Toyota Corolla. Thanks.

there should be 2 screws that hold the light lens in place,that you take out to get to the bulbs,once the lens is removed.if the lights are in the trunk tailgate and there is no screws then with the trunk lid open and you look inside above the area the lights you should see the bulb sockets that you turn a 1/4 turn to remove the socket to replace the bulbs.

Help how do i change the license plate bulb on my 2004 corolla?

I just replaced my 2 bulbs an hour ago in my garage.
1. Pry off all the clips that hold the liner. I used a cloth covered spatula, so
as not to chip the paint, to pull out the liner a little bit and used my
index and middle finger to pull back the clip and the liner, very slowly to
prevent breakage. When all the clips are off, the liner will fall, no need
to remove the emergency release handle.
2. Press the tiny release lock that hold the wires in the socket and pull
out the wires, carefully.
3. Turn the socket 1/4 the the left carefully, while putting a little pressure
upward, then the socket will release.
4. Pull the bulb staight out and replace it.
5. Reverse the procedure and voila! A ton of money saved!!!!!!

How to replace license plate lights

    Follow the Steps on how to replace license plate light on your car.

    1. Open the trunk and locate the trunk liner retainer clips.Use the Phillips head screwdriver to loosen the center plastic screw of the retainer clip about 1/4 turn, just enough to raise the head of the screw from the base of the clip. Pull the screw up, and lift the clip out of the liner. Use a flathead screwdriver to help pry it out. Remove enough of the clips to allow access to the license plate light sockets. Pull the liner back.

    2. Remove the emergency trunk release handle by popping off the top cover of the handle. Use the needle nose pliers to gently squeeze the prongs on the shaft, while removing the handle.

    3. Unplug the wire harness from the license plate light bulb socket the release clip on the side of the outlet.Twist the license plate light bulb socket 1/4 turn counterclockwise, using the needle nose pliers again. Do not apply too much pressure to the pliers; you may damage the socket.

    4. Remove the bulb from the socket, and replace it with a new one.

    5. Replace the socket into the socket assembly, and plug the wire harness back in. Test the bulb by turning on the lights of the Corolla, then turn them off again.

How do I replace license light bulbs in my 1995

I have a 2002 which is a little different body style but it may be the same process. You have to take the back plastic section that holds the license plate loose from the car. There are bolts that are inside the trunk that hold the plastic panel on. Mine are in the trunk lid. If your plastic panel, license plate, etc. goes up with the trunk lid they are in the lid. You need deep type sockets to reach the nuts, at least mine does.
