Most likey a easy fix but I can't figure out what fuse works the lights on the license plate...Since both are out I am guessing its a fuse..but if not any other ideas ..maybe lose wire? No others issues with lights that I know of. thanks for any help ( 1998 LX )
Looking at the wiring diagrams, they are running off fuse #31 in the passenger compartment fusebox, which is the same fuse for the dash illumination. If your dash lights are working the fuse should be ok.
The socket may have corroded, I had a wire break off and I had to solder it on, after polishing up the metal and wire. Hopefully, you just need new bulbs.
when i bought my car they were both out and i had trouble finding replacement bulbs. best one store could do was give me 1 bulb. eventually my shop ordered and installed them for me whilei was having my oil change and they are fine. i would buy the bulbs and try to replace them first. you will probably have to replace them anyways, even if it is the fuse
