Want this question answered?
It could be due to shorting of the rear number plate light fittings. This is what I found on my mondeo. The number plate and dashboard lights share a single fuse in the Mondeo, perhaps this is also the case in the Fiesta. The bulb holder had been bent out of shape and dislodged from its mount and was able to contact the metal of the hatch causing a short. This generally happened when I went over a bump with the lights on. It took me a long time to figure this because I had assumed that the fault lay under the dash. The fix was very simple, just a case of removing the number plate light cover, bending the bulb holder back in to shape and clipping it to its mount. Hope this helps
The 2005 Volvo truck vehicle identification number plate can be found on the dashboard. The identification plate will be on the drivers side of the dashboard.
on another 51 plate fiesta.
The number plate light is usually on the same circuit as the head lights.
the fuse should be labelled tail lights.(whats the problem with no. plate lights?)
The license plate lights are not in a separate fuce by it seft. They are the same as your side marker lights. So, check if your side marker lights are working and if they are them is a bad license plate light bulb.
On my 95 Avalon, there was a yellow picture of a car showing that my rear lights (license plate) were out.
Radio fuse
The owners manual indicates fuse # 12 in the Fascia fuses is for the number plate and a number of other things including Hazard lights.
try changing the bulb, you can get them from halfords
to wire the license plate lights you must have lights and wire them to the scooter.
the plate when you open the drivers door, it will be two numbers, two letters or one letter and one number.
