I've replaced the bulbs already and my license plate lamps still won't come on. Any suggestions Auto board?

Most likely a fuse, or you pulled the connector.

Make sure you are using the correct voltage bulb, 7.5 V bulbs don't last long at 12V.

Did you buy regular bulbs or LED?

If LED, flip them over and see if they come on.

If not, you need to check for voltage at the socket itself with a DVOM or test light.

Do the parking lights work?

168 and 194 bulbs and most miniature wedge automotive bulbs all come in 12V.

Thanks for the reply 1ags. I replaced the bulbs with the same ones that come stock with the vehicle. I don't believe that they're LED. All lights are working except the license plate lamps. I switched out the fuse and still have had no luck.

Check the connector bud, you might have slipped it loose by accident.

If that doesn't work, I'm afraid your Mustang had sex with a Chrysler and caught an electrical STD, which means it's pretty much f'd.

Got my issued resolved. Looks like it was a loose connector.
