DuoWing Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Can someone give me some advice on this one. On my 76' 280Z I've managed to get everything working. Turn signals, headlights, dash lights, tail lights, brake lights, etc. The only thing I can't get working are the license plate lights. I've put new bulbs in to no avail. Anyway I pulled that little license plate bulb socket sub harness and was testing it. The power wires are fine and gets the power right up to the socket. The ground wires seem to be ok, but I think the inside is corroded or not making contact when the socket is depressed by the bulb. Is there anyway to take these apart and clean them out? Should I just look for a replacement on ebay or something? Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z240 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 If you have confirmed you have power right up to the socket, and the ground side is connected to metal, and the fuse doesn't blow when you turn the lights on, then either you have bad bulbs or the sockets do indeed need rebuilding. I have some spare 280 license plate light assemblies if you decide they are beyond repair. PM or email z240@shaw.ca Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
