Archived from groups: alt>autos>acura (more info?)

I have a '91 Integra. Both license plate lights do not burn. I have
replaced the bulbs, but still no luck. The fuse (underdash in fuse box)
is not blown since all other lights on that circuit work fine.

Is there another inline fuse somewhere? I can trace the 4 wires (2 per
light) into a plastic bundle of wires up in the body.

I guess my next step is to disconnect the wires from the light sockets
and verify I have 12 volts to each light. If 12 volts is there, not sure
what to do next other than replace the light sockets.

Any ideas.......

Thanks!

Everything goes through the 15A #11 fuse.

Checking for battery voltage at the wires is a good idea. The wires
are only "hot" once the combination switch is on. Do your front side
marker lamps light up properly?

Do the sockets look corroded?

Also make sure the lights are actually plugged in. There is a connection
at the right side taillight. You'll need to remove the trim panel to
check. Sometimes body shops unplug the wires to remove the bumper and
forget to plug them in again.

Unplugged the lights and verified there was no voltage at the wires.
What a bitch plugging the connections back together working in that
1.5inch space above the license plate....with my big hands......Smile

Problem solved.....the problem was as you suspected. Back last winter
had a guy back into me and put a small dent in my right rear quarter
panel. So I took it to a dent removal place .....who obviously did not
plug in the connector at the right taillight after removing the dent.
What a pain having to remove the interior panels (rear and right side)
of the hatchback to get to the connector. The female end was attached
at the taillight, but the other wire/connector was out of sight.....down
behind the interior panel.

THANKS!!!!
