    Thanx for the rapid response.

    I change my oil and the oil change light remains on. I was told that there is a code you have to do to make the light go off.

    if you have a roll of tape handy 'duct or electrical', tear off about one (1) inch and place it over the light. If tape is not available chewing gum will suffice. On the plare light just clean the connector out

Take it to any oil change place and they will pull the electrical cover on the drivers side (door has to be opened before they can get at the fuse panel) its a simple thing to reset but I cant remember how long or how many times you have to push one of the pins in. they wont charge you anything for this info...

SOURCE: how do you change the license plate light bulb

OK>>> it is very cold here, but nonetheless..I went outside to check on my Oldsmobile for your benefit....On mine (I can't guarantee it is the same for all of the vehicles listed above). If you are looking at the license plate, LOOK UP and you should see the bulb and whatever encasing is there. Mine is in a tube and it is attached with (2) mini bolts that will need to come out first, then it just looks like a simple matter of disconnecting the electrical plug, taking out the old bulb and putting the new one in. I hope this helps someone....

License plate lights arent working

You didn't forget to pull the headlight switch to check them? That's odd, usually license plate lights are spliced in from the tail light circuit.
There may be a separate ground for the license lights-if so, should be right nearby the bulbs. Use a test light or voltmeter and make sure fuse 22 has power. You could also check the sockets for power. If you have power to the socket and new bulbs don't work, it would be a grounding problem.

License plate lights do not work. Bulbs changed still does not work. The right brake light does not work. Changed bulb and plug. Turning signals work, tail lights work. All works on the left side.

Well for the license plat you might wanna check the fuse. and the brake light if one works fine then I'm sure you need a new bulb in the other side. Good luck

Nissan Sentra License Plate Light Not Working

the license plate because of its position gets a lot of dirt and water problems so i would go back and take another good look remove the bulbs again and see if you can clean the inside with a little sand paper or a little scrape with a small screwdriver then spray with a little sileacone oil replace bulbs.Then switch lights on they should be ok if not try moveing them slightly with your fingers they should light.please let me know how you get on.adrian
