Hi,

Are all of the other tail lamps working, specifically the parking lamps? I ask because they get power from the same place.

If the other lamps are working, we need to check the connector for power at the license plate lamp.

At the light connector, probe the red wire to check for power. Do this with the lights on. (See pic below)

If there is power, confirm continuity to ground on the black wire. (See pic below)

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Hi,

Okay, then we need to check to see if there is power to the light sockets as well as a ground. Are you able to perform the tests I mentioned above?

Let me know.

Joe
