The number plate light runs off the back lights so their is no seperate fuse ,check teh wires that run into the boot lid as iam sure the fault is here
I have the same problem on my 2001 Jaguar S-Type 4.0L. I'm getting voltage from the boot/trunk light (11.41 VDC), but not from the two license plate sockets. I uncliped and removed to bulb holders to access direct voltage checks to the harness. No voltage. The fuse is good (#2 in boot fuse box), and all rear lights operate like they should. Is it possible that there are inline diodes for each bulb, or am I approaching this problem in the wrong manner?
i think so you are over complicating the issue here ,most likely cause is where the wires go from the body of the car to the boot lid as the lights are in the boot lid where the number plate is.check for damaged wires in and around where the wires bo into the boot lid ,simple

open trunk,
remove felt liner from rear of trunk, (liner directly behind rear lights in side trunk) should be 4 plastic Phillips head screws. Loosing screws, then slowly peel liner away. You will see 3 nuts on each side, removing these nuts will loosing the rear light lenses, so you can pull the lense away from the body from the out side to gain access to the license plate bulbs. Re-install in reverse order. While in there I would recommend replacing your brake light and reverse light bulb. Hey your already in there might as well do a little preventive maintance.

It wouldn't be a fuse if that's the only light that's not working, I believe all of the parking lights are on the same fuse. It's most likely a bad ground or corrosion inside the socket where the bulb makes the electrical connection. So check the socket to make sure it has no corrosion, if it does, clean it up and apply some dielectric grease (available at any parts store) to prevent future corrosion, and check for a loose or broken ground wire.
