License plate bulb not working

[worldacgti]

I recently got car back from bodyshop (someone hit my rear bumber) and when i got it back i noticed my license plate bulbs were both dead. I replaced led bulbs with plain 194 bulbs and still nothing.

Is there a fuse for rear plate bulbs? If so, anyone know location of fuse?

I don't believe there is a fuse for number/licence plate lights. They are powered by the onboard supply control unit.

1. Has your bodyshop forgotten to reconnect the wiring/loom?
2. Do you have access to VCDS? A scan may uncover the problem.

For reference, the fuse layout can be accessed here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-0IaQ-frKqPeWhDTTVNQkhtdUU/view

Definitely connector as vcds shows implausible circuit....can i get to it with removing bumper?

Why would you fix what the shop screwed up? Call your insurance company or whoever's insurance paid for the repair. Get to the dealer & have them fix it.

Good luck.

If its a simple plug im not gonna waste my time leaving it at shop again...if i have to remove bumper, i will send it back

Go back to the body shop and tell them to do their job. That's unacceptable.

if i have to remove bumper, i will send it back

The chances are you will have to remove it.

Hope you get it fixed either way.
