licence plate fuse number

[marv999]

afternoon guys,

hope you'r all well and safe.

can some one tell me what fuse the rear licence plate runs off?

just changed a dead bulb, but one of my plate lights is sill not working... strange as there's no warning on the dash.

just want to check the fuse...or anything else it can be?

They should be on same fuse if one works but the other doesn't then swap them round see if that problems follows on the otherwise chance are your replacement bulb it also blown if it doesn't it could be loose cabling inside the lamp connector so give that a good push, i highly doubt audi will.individually fuse license plate lights

thanks fella,
ran a multi meter across the terminals yesterday, there's deffo current going through, so ordered a new set of lights and 'holders' to go in, hopefully this should sort the problem.

You'll need to find the Audi ones, I'm sure there the same A3 A4 and a6, like i say, I'll post a pic later when it's dark, might be worth trying to get new screws for the units, as they get screwed easily
