Fuse for the license plate lights
 
Trying to troubleshoot my License plate light which won't power on on my 2014 Scion FRS, does anybody know which fuse is used for this?

Thanks!

Well, gives us a bit of background.
Are the lights OEM?
Are you putting new ones in,
Where they working before?

The fuse box location(s) are in the hood (duh) and drivers side under the dash.
Work on your Google-fu, it's weak.

If your tail lights work, it's not a fuse. One fuse for tails and plate, one for reverse, one for stop.

If you don't have an owner's manual, you can google your way to one.

In case anyone's intersted, here's where the taillight fuse lives.

I had a bad led in my license plate lights that blew a fuse. It was a while back. If I remember correctly it also impacted the front switchback turn signals and they would only blink amber when the parking lights were on. The fuse diagram didn't help me and I resorted to just pulling the fuses ones at a time until I found the one that was blown. Don't hold me to this, but I think it was the #5 10A according to what @Ultramaroon uploaded.

In this case you need to check if you other lights are functioning. If the tag light fuse is dead out then your tail lights and parking lights won't light up either.

When you switch to your parking lights using your indicator stalk, your tag lights, tail lights, side markers, and parking lights all light up. So if the fuse is dead then none of them should be working.
