If not labeled in you manual then I would look for the fuse that is for the trailer harness. You may not have a hitch but I would bet you still have the harness.

SOURCE: burned out license plate bulb

open trunk,

remove felt liner from rear of trunk, (liner directly behind rear lights in side trunk) should be 4 plastic Phillips head screws. Loosing screws, then slowly peel liner away. You will see 3 nuts on each side, removing these nuts will loosing the rear light lenses, so you can pull the lense away from the body from the out side to gain access to the license plate bulbs. Re-install in reverse order. While in there I would recommend replacing your brake light and reverse light bulb. Hey your already in there might as well do a little preventive maintance.

SOURCE: i cannot find the fuse for the license plate light

The lic plate light are on the same fuse as the park lights so if they work the fuse is good, try removing the bulb assembly and look for things like a bad ground caused by dirt or rust, if you have a 12 volt test light you can check to see if you are getting any power to the light socket or the wires leading up to the sockets and you can trace back to where the problem is.

2013 Chevy taho both license plate lights are out and the bulbs are good. Been searching for the fuse for a very long time today and I still haven't gotten the answer please help

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 .

License plate light

The licence plate doesn't have a fuse, it comes on when you put your lights on, if you have your park lights on and the plate light isn't working then generally it's just a bulb, see what you can find, cheers good luck

License plate light out of order

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!

Location of fuse box for license plate light on a 1998 chevy cargo van

The license plate bulb is fed off the same fuse as the parking lights/tail lights. If those a working than the fuse is good. Check the bulb. If its good check for power to the bulb and for a good ground. I think this has The license in the door? If so check the wiring in the door harness in between the door and the body. It is possible that there is a broken wire in that harness. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com!

Tag light is not working. is there a fuse that will get the light turned back on?

The fuse labeled REAR PARK LP 15A in the right instrument panel fuse box powers the rear park lamps, and the tag lamps. If your rear park lamps are working then you most likely need to replace the tag lamps (bulbs). Use the following procedure to replace the lamps.

To Remove:
  1. Remove the two mounting screws from the license plate lamp.
  2. Remove the license plate lamp from the rear bumper fascia.
  3. Remove the license plate lamp socket by turning it counterclockwise.
To Install:
  1. Install the license plate lamp socket by turning it clockwise.
  2. Position the license plate lamp to the rear bumper fascia.
  3. Install the license plate lamp mounting screws.

No lights for my license plate. Don't know if it is a fuse or bulb. Where is the fuse?

Typically the license plate light will come on with the running lights....if all the other lights are good I would suspect a bad bulb or trouble at the bulb holder....
Take care.
