Rear license plate light

2022 Bronco Outer Banks (4dr). Just finished replacing the plastic rear bumper, so I ended up having to get a license plate relocation kit from Rough Country. I am using the OEM light circuit for the new license plate light. Tried all combinations of the light switch, but I can’t get power on the circuit? Anyone know what circuit from the two fuse boxes supply this light? Any other hints?

According to the Electrical manual, the license plate lamp is powered directly from the Body Control Module.
I couldn’t see a separate fuse for it.
Here is the wiring diagram for the light itself:

Well, that gets me one question answered, thx. Am I expecting the light to illuminate with headlights on? I would think so.

It should light with either the parking lights or the headlights on.

Also, from the circuit run, I need to figure out where C410 and C424 is.

So thanks for the circuit diagram. The problem was the OEM connector wasn’t seating all the way. For the record, the connection from the bumper to body for the license plate light is on the driver side; whereas, the connector from the bumper to the body on the passenger side is for the proximity sensors.

Glad you got it figured out.
