can anyone tell me why my lights would not be working on my license plate, i replaced old bulbs with new bulbs and checked every fuse and relay in the vehicle and none are blown. If i buy new lights and wiring, how do i hook it up so itll work properly. the old bulbs was burnt out or had a black tip on teh end when i took them out as tho they were blown, my email adress is eucredawwg@yahoo.com thanks Tim

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread into the lighting section. Check the wiring harness, and sockets with a test light or a voltmeter. You might have a bad socket or ground wire.

About the only thing you can do is check the bulb sockets to see if the are making contact with the bulb. Then, using a Test Light, check the wiring back to where the problem is.

License plate lamp wiring
Hi,
I do own a Ford Explorere XLT 1997 4-drs. 4.0 V6. I need to buy the wiring, or the complete thing for the license plate lights. The male connecter is broken and I cannot find on anywhere. Can someone help me out with this?
