License plate bulb needs replacing

According to a post on Traverse Forum, the issue might not be with the bulbs themselves, but rather with the connectors that slide onto the bulb. These connectors may be corroded, which could prevent the bulbs from working . Another possibility is that the lens the bulb attaches to may be full of dirt, especially if you live in a dusty area .

If neither of these solutions work, it's possible that there is a problem with the fuse for the license plate lights. The license plate lamps are powered by the 10 amp left parking light circuit fuse located in the under hood fuse panel. If any of your parking lamps on the left side are out, this could be the problem. If those lights are working, then the fuse should be good. The fuse is easy to get to, so it's worth pulling it out and reseating it or replacing it .

The license plate lamps are designed to illuminate the plate and registration tags on your vehicle and make it easily visible to law enforcement. In many states, a burnt out license plate bulb can get you a ticket.

I hope help you with this. Good luck (remember rated this help).

if you buy some of those "on tv only" lights that are bubble shaped and plastic, you can duct tape those onto your license plate area and click them on or off when needed.
