Hi, I have a minor problem but i cant seem to fix it. I have replaced the bulb, and i dont know why my lic plate bulb isnt lighting up. I have the Acura 3.2 tl 02. I tried looking for a fuse in both the interior fuse boxes and even the one under the hood. All the fuses seem to be fine. Or maybe im not looking at the right place?.

Did you try reversing the polarity of the bulb/ flipping it 180 degrees and putting it back in?

xanchaudry

yes i did. It didnt light up

anyone has any idea how the wires run to the battery, i dont see any possibility of the wire to break so there has to be a fuse somewhere to this bulb. I literarlly took every fuse out to check and they all are fine in all the boxes.

Did you try another bulb? or strip the wires a little and see if there is even any power in the circuit.

I did try another bulb. I need a voltage tester to see if there is any current goin thru. Will do it tmrw.

no sign of eletricity through the terminals. So its def not the bulbs. Does anyone know where is the fuse located for the lic plate bulb ?

Having the same exact problem. Have checked the bulb and most of the fuses, even though I can't even find a fuse labeled for it. No power where the bulb plugs in. Anyone else have this same problem? I've searched and seen a few similar things, but no fixes.


I didn't have much time to mess with it so I couldn't do a full troubleshoot on it, but when I find some time I'll check the socket and some other stuff and bump the thread if I find anything.

Maybe this is too obvious, but you do have the headlights turned on when you're checking the bulb, right?
