The plate lights on my vehicle listed above XL are not turning on after replacement, I have also checked all the fuses in hood. I am also getting warnings for my rear backup assist (but back up cam is working fine Connected computer to vehicle to check for codes found code B0956 parking assist front sensor right middle circuit open circuit, stored in the park assist module. Found code B3883 license plate lamp circuit short to battery listed as current in the body control module.). This is a new vehicle for our family, and I have not been able to find a good source of wiring diagrams for this vehicle yet. I bought a pdf off eBay which has a bunch of repair information but does not seem to include a wiring diagram for the exterior lighting system. Could you please provide diagrams for the external lighting circuits and the parking assist circuits? Thank you

The power for the license plate lights is supplied by the BCM so I would check the fuses# BCM1, BCM3, BCM5 in the left interior fuse panel and fuse# BCM4, BCM6 and BCM7 in the right interior fuse panel, (side of dash).

This guide can help:

Here are the exterior lighting wiring diagrams as requested. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
