robbwilk Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I noticed the other morning that both of my bulbs that light up my license plate on my '88 were not functioning. I replaced both bulbs, no luck. What would make the most sense to check next? A fuse? :USAflag: :cheers:
88swampedmj Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 maybe a fuse, or a ground messed up or hopefully not but in mine some wires melted together... you may wanna check the ground behind the left side tail light.. and then just check your wires.. there is a plug that plugs the tail light harness in right behind the spare tire cover.. you may check if its ok.. or unplugged
feerocknok Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 x3 the ground. Pull the driverside taillight out, and it's a crummy little screw behind it.
87manche Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 my fualt with that logic is that the license plate lamps run from the parking lamp circuit, so if the parking lamps work it's not likely the ground. Does it have a trailer harness? I'd start there.
Eagle Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 The license plate lights are a "mini" harness to themselves. About 18" from the lights, they plug into the main body harness with a pair of little bullet connectors. One is ground, the other is power. If either one is corroded, the license lights don't work but the stop/tail/turn lights will continue to function.
87manche Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 I didn't realize that Eagle. since mine came with the rollpan it had already been hacked up
