Ford Focus plate bulbe

Hi,
I had yesterday the exact problem of an old message. Could someone help please.

(I was changing one of my numberplate bulbs when i saw a spark and the other bulb stopped working aswell (Silly of me to do this with the light on I know!). So I checked the manual and decided to change the fuse, but there wasn't one there for the nuber plate lights. I put one in but the lights still don't work. Any ideas?)

regards

You shouldn't change a bulb with the lights on as you have found out. The spark your talking about is the electrics shorting out which would have blown the fuse. You must be looking in the wrong place because they would deffinately have a fuse. Sometimes there listed in two places in the manuals just double check there no other fuse for the lights

The No. plate bulb is usually wired into the side lamp circuit.
Check fuse for the sidelights

you should find that one side of the cars side lights have also stopped working, so check that fuse
