License plate lights not working civic 2005


My license plate lights weren't working so I though to solve this problem replacing the bulbs. There not working still. All the other lights (trunk, headlights, stop, reverse)are working fine. I don't know where to start but need to be quick because I don't want the police to stop me again for the same light problem.

double check the the bulbs are installed correctly and use electrical grease on the ends to create a good contact.

I checked the fuse on the fuse box under the hood and it is good.
The bulbs are little and they are all glass. Can I use grease on them?

You don't put the grease all over the bulb.

unch:
Just apply the grease to the connectors. The grease is just to keep moisture out, and keep the metal from corroding.

The bulbs probably look something like this:

Just a tiny little bit of grease on the metal contacts should do the trick.

Yes, the light bulb look just like those on the picture. I wasn't planing on greasing the whole thing I just didn't know that was ok to use grease on them. I'll try that trick. Thanks

time to pull out the old multimeter and find out where your short is. Check your fueses in and the car and under the hood and make sure they are all good.

You said in an earlier post that you checked the fuses in the box under the hood. Try checking the fuses in the box under the drivers side dash. I think that the license plate fuse in the interior fuse box.
