Does the fuse have power in and out when a test light is used? This test would be run with the light switch on.

SOURCE: License Plate lights won't work

first of all i would get a 12- volt tested and turn the lights on take the new blub out and then test the sockets and no power test the wires behind the sockets if you have power then the sockets are bad or burn out replace if needed.

SOURCE: License plate lights do not work.

The licence plate lights are in the same line as your tail light wiring assembly. I assume your tail lights are working or you would have got a ticket for that. The wire is either cut, broken or unhooked from the tail light wires (which usually are brown). If you can not find the problem, you can always run a new wire to the tail light wire from your licence plate wire. Then they should work.
Your other problem is that the license plate ground is rusty & not grounding, which would also not let them work, so you should probably check that first. Rick

SOURCE: tail lights and reverse lights out.

Check the bulbs for the tail/brake lights. If you put in single filament bulbs it will be on from the tail light voltage and the brakes will not show.
Try this;
Turn off the lights, press the brake pedal. Look at the brightness of the brake lights.
Now turn on the lights. Look at the brightness of the lights. If is the same as before the bulbs are wrong. You need two filament bulb.

04 Nissan maxima tail lghts don't always come on right away thought maybe headlight switch not sure need help

Download 2004 Nissan Maxima Lighting System Section LT PDF Manual 190 Pages Do you know how to do electrical testing with volt ohm meter ? Do you know what a BCM is ? COMPUTER !
Control of the parking, license plate, and tail lamp operation is dependent upon the position of the lighting switch (combination switch). When the lighting switch is placed in the 1ST position, the BCM (body control module) receives input signal requesting the parking, license plate, side marker and tail lamps to illuminate. This input signal is communicated to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) across the CAN communication lines. The CPU (central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R controls the tail lamp relay coil. This relay, when energized, directs power to the parking, license plate, rear side marker and tail lamps, which then illuminate.

2013 crew cab short bed. Why aren't tail lights, brake lights, and license plate lights working?

Hello,

So--there are several things I am thinking here. On some vehicles there is a brake module that causes the tail and brake lights to go out. On my 99 cougar they had to bypass this module because the modules kept going out.
Next--the tail, brake, and plate lights are all on the same wires with the same ground much like on a trailer. If you have a bad ground, if you have a wire that has rubbed off the wire sheath and is touching a ground then this will cause your problem (closed circuit). Test light, time--.
Bulbs?

I hope this helps.

2004 brake light out (red section) how do I

Not familiar with this model, however see if there are bolts or screws on the side of the tail lamp assembly when you open the tail gate.  Once you remove screws, entire taillamp assembly will come out, and you can then get to back side of tail light to replace bulbs.  This is normal bulb replacement for other pickups like toyota, ford.  Hope this helps!!

I am adding trailer lights to my 1998 nissan frontier

You may be better off checking at dealer, or autoparts store for an adapter harness that goes inline. They simply plug into the harness ahead of all your tailights etc, and make it easier. At most, you may end up having to run a separate wire for brake control.
