Have an issue with the registration plate bulbs, one is out and warning message on the dash, I had an e46 with the same problem, is there a fix for this or it a trip to the stealers for a new part?
Thanks
Martin

Give the contacts a quick clean with sandpaper or something similar first...

As Sanj has said, clean the contacts as a first port of call. If not that, then possibly a break in the wire or the solder of the wire to the contacts.

Had the same problem over the summer. Ufortunately I had to get a whole new part as I couldn't get into the old part. I know that there ia a circuit board inside it somewhere though.
