license plate lights

SouthArk370Z

10 amp. Fuse #59 in the IPDM (next to bottom on right side, IIRC).

Reference: EXL-37 of 2009 FSM
Edit: Fuse list starts at EXL-37. Lic plate fuse is actually listed on EXL-38.

thanks alot, at least i know one of the spare that nissan supplies you with will work for it lol, now if i can just figure out what happened to the horn

SouthArk370Z

The lic plate fuse supplies:
- Daytime running light relay
- Parking lamp
- Front side marker lamp
- Tail lamp
- Rear side marker lamp
- License plate lamp



Two fuses for the horn (FSM HRN-2):
#31 (15A)
#38 (10A)

Both are located in the Fuse, Fusible Link And Relay Box (AKA Battery Terminal with Fusible Link). See PG-85 for fuse locations in box.

Edit: Fuses 50 and 51 (15A) may be involved with the horn. Both are in IPDM. I think they are power for the IPDM, but, since you will already be in the IPDM, you might as well check.

Interesting piece of information kind of weird how all of those are linked cause all my sidemarkwr lamps and parking lights work fine thanks for all the info though

SouthArk370Z

Yes, weird. On a 370Z, I wouldn't be at all surprised if some of the lamps have multiple power sources. One of these days I'll take a look at the wiring diagrams and see if I can figure it out. Maybe it's just a difference between the '09s and the '11s.

BTW, I got to ruminating about your brittle contact wires and that sounds like a symptom of high heat and/or arcing. I'd double-check the socket for damage.

thanks for the heads up, i was a little worried about the socket too so i checked that before i put the stock bulbs back in and it was clean thankfully. i got around to replacing the fuse today since they let us off early from my job for a company christmas party and sure enough it was the exact fuse you described that was fried. interesting thing i found out though is after replacing that fuse my horn started working properly again, i went ahead and checked all the other fuses in the IPDM box and everything else was fine so i'm all good to go now. rep. coming your way southark
