MY LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS DON'T WORK. I CHANGED THE BULBS, BOTH OF WHICH WERE BLOWN, BUT STILL NO LIGHTS. THE FUSE IS OK.
WITH NO BULBS IN, WHEN I PUT A TEST LIGHT (CONNECTED TO GROUND AT THE LUGGAGE STRAP CLIP) ON THE POSITIVE TERMINAL IN THE LEFT HAND BULB HOLDER I GET THE TEST LIGHT COMING ON, AND NO RESPONSE FROM THE NEGATIVE SIDE, BUT WHEN I PUT A BULB IN - NIX!.
WHEN I PUT A BULB IN THE RIGHT HAND HOLDER, BOTH SIDES OF THE LEFT HAND HOLDER BECOME LIVE.
WHAT'S GOING ON???
AS YOU CAN PROBABLY GUESS I'M NOT MUCH OF AN ELECTRICIAN, AND SUSPECT A BAD GROUND SOMEWHERE - BUT WHERE?
ALL THE OTHER BITS ON THE REAR DOOR WORK OK - LOCK, WIPER, HEATED WINDOW.
THE CAR IS IN ITS ORIGINAL STATE AS FAR AS I KNOW, WITH NO REAR-END DAMAGE ETC.
ANYBODY GOT ANY IDEAS?
