Nov 11, 2011 - The licence plate lights are in the same line as your tail light wiring assembly. I assume your ... Previous owner cut wires going to lights for license plate. ... 1996 ford explorer license plate fuse ... 09@1998 ford f150 fuse box.
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.
Usually the license plate light is on the same circuit with the tail lights. If the tail lights are out also, the fuse is either in the box under the dash or on the end of the dash, or in the box in the engine compartment.
Are the rear bulbs OK? Is the ground good at the rear?are the sockets good? Are there tail lights and a license plate light?then the ground is OK. All the things that you say do not work go through the signal light switch....it may need replacing. First make sure the bulbs and fuses are OK and power is getting to the signal light switch and to the brake light switch. Nice car!
Sounds like you may have a wiring issue. I would cut the wires at the tag lamps, leaving enough to splice in new ones. Then pull one of your tail light assemblies out and, using a test light which is available from most parts stores for $5-10, figure out which wire is hot with the parking lights on. Splice a wire from there to your tag lamp socket. Then splice the other wire to the ground circuit at the tail lamp or find a good ground to wrap it around somewhere else (usually just about anything metal). Just find a bolt somewhere, back it out a bit and stick some of the stripped wire behind it at tighten it back up.
