How do you know its the plug and not a bulb that is bad or loose?


Did I say I know? Bad or loose bulbs don't blow fuses.


The OP does not mention blowing a fuse, he said he only replaced
them, implying maybe he thought that's why the lights were not
working. Obviously if he replaced the fuses and it still does not
work, there is an open someplace, not a short. So it could be a loose
bulb or a bad bulb shunt that did not close fully.
