Number plate lights fault

Post by dstill »

I have led number plate lights and they've been fine for a couple of years but both went off the other day. I've checked if there is any power at the connector and there isn't, does anyone know which fuse controls these as I'm guessing that's the next thing to check but I couldn't seem to locate the fuse.

It's hard to diagnose as once a fault is detected the circuit is shut down. Try a couple of old fashioned tungsten bulbs to see if they work.

I tried my standard number plate lights and they didn't work either, there's no power at the connector?

After lots and lots of Internet searching this seems to be an issue that no one other than dealers appear to be able to solve, bring back the good old fused circuits, lol.
