Lights ?

[joe944]

Drivers side fog light, tail light, and license plate light all out. Fuse problem ?

I have seen a lot of people talking about fuses for similar issues, but I don't think they all went out at the same time. Does one fuse control all three of those lights ?

Has anyone else had three separate lights go out like that within a couple of months if I just did not notice them all go out at once?

Here's the fuse panel from the Owner's Manual:

i doubt its a fuse problem. i would start by checking the bulbs. while not the most probable occurrence, its not outside the realm of possibility for all those bulbs to go out at the same time.

If bulbs are good - it is a good chance they all ground at the same spot on the chassis

Thanks, thanks and thanks.

Is there a how to link on any of these lights ? Thanks ?

Fog light and License plate light I have taken an attempt at. Need the tail light worked out. Just got a ticket. Not sure how to go about fixing that one. Thanks.

tail light needs to be removed, three nuts hold it on accessible via access covers that pop off the rear plastics in the trunk area (assuming we are talking P5 here.) they are 10mm nuts if they are original, once they are off the whole light should pop off, just held with a clip fastner. then the bulbs can be accessed. iirc the tail/stop light is a 7443 BUT double check that for yourself.

Thanks. Done and done on the tail light. Trunk was so full I did not see all three of the screws. The light was out.

Any directions on license plate light ?

IIRC, you have to push the license plate light bulb casings in to dislodge them. I believe there are arrows indicating which way to push.

Thanks, that is what I thought. Damn thing did not want to come out. Broke a small piece off, but got it done.
The tail light assembly did not want to come off easy either.
I guess they have been on there a while.
