My sister's car is a 1998 Nissan Pulsar N15 S2 Q hatchback (recently bought) and the license plate light at the rear does not light up when the headlights are on.
I guess it will be either 3 things:
1. Blown fuse.
2. Blown light bulb (there are two, so I doubt both are blown unless they are wired in series).
3. Broken electrical wiring.
Does anyone know where the fuse for the rear license plate light is, as I've found 3 fuse boxes but cannot find the fuse for this light, nor do I know what it is called?
Also, if anyone knows whether the two lights are wired in series or parallel that would be a help cause I haven't tried changing bulbs yet (don't have a spare)...

there is a pulsar form for engives at the bottom of the sentra forums... im tying to get your questions to the right people so they can help you out... try posting there...
Maybe I'm just really thick when it comes to cars, but I cannot find the Pulsar forum. A search on the keyword Pulsar shows that posts are spread out all over the place. I'm from Australia so three-quarters of thecar names in this forum I've never heard of before.
this is an engine forum, but it is for engines found in a pulsar... BTW, is your car really a 98 or 88?? i ask this because they didnt make pulsars in the US after the very early 90's, so if you have a 98 pulsar, it is likely billed as something else here in the states... and we could direct you to the best place to go...
there's not a pulsar section.
Your lights should be wired in parallel, I've never seen lights wired in series on a car, usually lights will be fused in a group like brake lights, int. lights, clearance lights, etc, so it doesn't seem like it would be fuse or else some other lights would probably also not be working. Most likely it's lights burned out, altough it is strange to have 2 lights go out at the same time.

Ahh, that explains it. I read that forum description "1982-1988 Sentra/Pulsar". Mine is a 1998 Pulsar, they still make them here in Australia even 2004 models. I have no idea what they call them now in the USA but it looks like this http://users.bigpond.net.au/troys/555.jpg (that is not my car though).
ok, we were on the wrong page here... ive never seen anything like that... any pics of the front or inside? maybe it will give me a better idea of what that is here in the US... I love the way the back end of that car looks...
It is a blown light bulb. At least one, I haven't looked at the other side but I imagine it is the same.
It is really hard to open the case the bulb is in without breaking the clips, and the bulb is a strange snap-in type, not screwed in. Now to source one of these bulbs from a car wrecker or somewhere.
