How do you fix a license plate light on a 1997 Chrysler sebring convertible i replaced the bulb but it still does not work?

Answer 1

Since your question does not indicate that the other "running" lights are not working, I suspect that they are working. Since the license plate light does NOT have it's own dedicated circuit, and therefore it's own fuse, it is not a blown fuse. IF all other rear lights, are working, then the problem is limited to the bulb SOCKET or the hot wire to it. That wire is relatively short, in that it is connected to the tail light wiring in the trunk area near one of the tail light assemblies. I can think of three possibilities that would cause the lcense plate lamp circuit to be "open:" 1. Somehow, the wire got cut or broken. 2. A connector has become disconnected. 3. Water has gotten into a connector, bulb socket, or ground connection, causing corrosion which impedes the flow of electrical current.
