As the title says my tail light, parking, and license plate doesn't work.
started car last week and noticed these doesn't lit up when i turned on headlights.
I checked the owner's manual for a fuse/relay but cannot find one.
checked all the bulbs, and they are good but got no power to wires when probed with a test light.

Is there a fuse or relay for it?

this is on a 2015 evo x with 6300 miles

any help or suggestions would greatly appreciated

btw, the reverse, brake, and turn signals all work as they have a fuse for it.

Just take it in for warranty why bother with it.

Yeah you should really consider taking it in to the dealer since its so new. Last thing you want is to mess around with some wires, not be able to solve it and later be denied warrenty because of a modification you did.

Was thinking about it, but the nearest dealership is 2 hours away
Plus, car is not stock so, not sure if they will even touch it
It only got bolts on , pro tuned on ap v3 and ebay spyder headlights

Interesting. Did any of this start happening immediately after the tune by any chance?

It was tuned last year, so i wouldnt think it would be it
The only thing i could think of is maybe a wire, fuse or relay got shorten somehow.
1) i wired my boost n wb gauge to the cig/acc fuse, n sometime the wire got loose, so the boost gauge will not turn on but if i wiggle on the wire then it powers up
2) my transmitter box ( which connect to cig lighter port) for my e-cut out motor was acting up so it disconected the wires from it n hook them together to get the cut out to open
One of the wire accidently touch something and the cig/acc fuse blew
Replaced a new fuse n everthing work again for a couple days then one night those lights just wont lit up

Im sure its gotta be a relay somewhere for all those lights
If all fails , i was thinking of putting stock headlights back on n take it to the dealership

Check fuses bro, it is a fuse somewhere. It is not hard to pop the fuses out and check em.

Yeah definitely sounds like you blew some other fuse when cig blew. Google "Evo x fuse box diagram" or look in your manual. Be sure you check the ones in the engine as well as the little passenger box thing.

If you do decide to take it to the dealer I would also suggest you tuck away the AP. I've talked to people who were tuned and with gauges etc being able to warrenty by hiding the AP. I guess some dealers immediately see it and flip out, and if it's not visible it might slide.

Beleived i looked at the manual n fuse diagram n there's no fuse for any of those lights
I pretty much pulled all the fuses out n checked them, they are good
There's one for hazard/turn signal, reverse, brake/stop, dome, and lastly one for each of the h/l headlights n fog lights

Is there a fuse or relay box in the passenger side too?
I thought just on the driver side and engine bay

Ducky077

No the passenger box is the same one you talked about checking. It's stated as passenger in manuals and online because of the right hand drive cars but it's on the driver's side in US cars. I think the license plate lights are on the same fuse as the right or left brake light. I can't remember.


Are there any fuses under the steering wheel of this car? My other two cars have fuses there as well.


Only other thing I can think of if you've checked ever single fuse is that a wire or wires that run in the lower panel trim (where the door closes) is damaged.

The "stop" fuse is for the brake lights only, so its not connected to license plate bulbs

Manual says just 2 fuse box,
1 in engine bay and 1 in driver side just above the clutch pedal

I did take that trim off to see if i could trace the tail light wire to the fuse box or light switch on steerin colum
All the wires are like new, no kinks or tears

I looked online n found a wire diagram saying the fusible link #37 is connect to fuse #12 in engine bay for all those lights but fuse#12 is not use in my model, its says ic sprayer...whatever that is

Ill post the link here in s little bit, maybe u guys with more electrical knowledge might figured it out

here's the link, see if this could be any help or useful

Just a little update. I put the stock headlight on the driver but still no lights.
So, i tap into the parking lights on the aftermarket headlights n magically all the lights that wasnt working came, ie... parkings, tails, license plates.
For now, i just wired to a toggle switch inside cabin.

SlowJoe

Did you ever figure out what caused this? What do you mean "tap into parking lights"?

I have the same problem. Seems like it happens a lot but no one ever posts how they fixed it.

1LSTRDE

I just tap into the driver side aftermarket headlight's parking light wire and ran a wire into the dash with a toggle switch. The factory headlight wire is uncut. Just have to flip the toggle switch whenever i drive at night.
Not sure if this helps you or not.
U still have the oem headlights?
