Hey guys,

A couple of days ago a police officer kindly pulled me over to inform me that my rear license plate light was out. I bought a bulb and tried changing it but that didn't fix the problem. I also noticed that my side bumper lenses aren't lighting up either.

Is there a fuse that goes to all these lights? I'm hoping that it's just a simple fix like that. I haven't had a chance to check the fuse box, I'll do that when I get home from work today. By the way my tail lights all work, just not the license plate and side lights.

You may have a fuse in yours. I have a '11 GT and it does have a 15 amp fuse for the 'park lamps, license lamps. In my car it is #22 fuse on the inside of my GT. YFBMV (your fuse box may vary).

Sounds like a plug got pulled in the trunk area. The fuses are normally for an entire set of lights.....all park lights..... Open the trunk and trace the wires back from the lic. plate light and see what you find.
