Hi guys,
I'm trying to get the driver's side backup light to illuminate on my newly purchased '97 BMW 840Ci.
The car tells me "LICENSE PLATE LIGHT FAIL" so I replaced both license plate lights - which were already lighting up - along with the trunk compartment lights and both backup light bulbs.
If I pop out the bulb housing and put it in the passenger side backup light, it still illuminates, so something is either messed up with the circuit overall or with something I can't find.
Any tips for troubleshooting a little deeper?
Thanks!

Did you check for power and ground in the socket?
