Plate light mystery.

[joey.w]

Any thoughts on this? All lights working just fine. Occasionally the right turn signal blinks to fast but thats not the issue. The rear plate lights just went out. Bulbs are good, no corrosion in the sockets, all fuses have continuity ???? Is there a secret spot or fuse im missing for these two little lights? 94/80

@joey.w, here's the EWD info:

You want to look at L2, right side, mid page. There's a junction (BV1), forward of the harness from the tailgate to the cargo area, and a ground location forward of that. I'd check both of those.

Since you mention your turn signal, I just replaced the pigtail between the harness and the lamp ($23, OEM, stealership) last month for the same reason. Check the pigtail for chafing and check the socket for corrosion. You can fix these, but the replacement is so cheap, why bother?
