Reg plate light

redarmy1929

Hey lads,

I noticed one of the bulb is gone on reg plate.

I replaced the bulb but still not working.

Is there anything else it could be?

Cheers

could be a fuse
what car is it anyway?

Could the 2nd bulb be banjo'd also? Try swapping the working bulb into the one thats not working!

Oh I never thought of that, will swap the working bulb for checking fuse.

Its a 03 Fiesta.

Any idea where the fuses are located?

Thanks lads

Look inside the socket, is there rust?

If one is working and the other is not it most likely wont be a fuse. More likely rust/bad connection or broken wire

If for some reason the fuse is fine then it could be the reverse light switch
not sure about the fiesta's but the mondeo's reverse light switch on the gearbox are prone to failing
but €25 from ford so not that dear, pain in the hole to fit though

What has a reverse light switch to do with a number plate light not working

What kind of bulb does the light take ? If it's a fuse style bulb then the are directional so just might be in the wrong way.
