License Plate lights won't light up
 

Today I replaced my bulbs on my license plate light bulbs, and they still wont turn on. I looked at another thread about this and found that they said to look at the fuses. I took out every fuse nothing there all good. Any suggestions? I was thinking it could be a short but I don't know were the short could be.

This is the other thread I was talking about that told me to check the fuses.

get a text light check if u getting both power and ground if you only getting ground that means fuse or something also is wrong. if you get power but no ground. rewire the ground somewhere..

What is a text light? And how would I check for power?

He means a test light. Just check all the fuses. Have you checked under the hood as well?

Yes I have checked every fuse, the trunk that I have on there isn't from my car I swapped it for one with a spoiler but all the plugs snapped together. I just don't understand why its not working, but I never checked to see if it worked when I swapped it.

thanks..

op you need a test light for this issue is either power or ground..

Did you get the polarity right? Not sure if you added LED bulbs, but they are polarity-sensitive and won't light up. Take them out and turn them around (180 degrees) then back in.

My money is on the grounds. but I've been wrong before....

Alright today I will switch around the Leds and see if I have the polarity wrong. If not how would I make the new ground I have every bit of my trunk covered in dynomatt.

I found the problem, and it was the ground. I had to run a small wire but I ran it to my amp ground that I had and it works great now.

^^^ can i get rep points i knew it.. and by the way ground it somewhere also just screw it on your trunk find a spot make sure its metal... your system soon or later gonna start acting up..

Its only temporary untill I find another spot to put it, I will probably end up puting it on the trunk latch.

Hey is there a video of you finding the problem and the solution please?
