License plate lights out and error
The nightmare of my Andream MMI module was almost behind me-till I noticed today my license plate lights are out and I have a license plate light error on the instrument panel.
Long story short, installed the challenging MMI module to get carplay in my 2012 Mini Countryman, and installed the backup camera.
I popped out the license plate lights to get into that bumper so I could put in the actual backup camera.
Did not think I did any damage to anything, pretty simple process (something in this job had to be easy)....but now the license plate lights dont work and I get the error on panel.
I plugged in bluedriver to clear the code, but, it came up again and lights never worked.
AND-for testing the lights, are they ALWAYS ON, or driven by turning on headlights.
What next? fuse??
Thanks

I don't know how to check, but I do have a multimeter, maybe ill youtube it.
Spraying some electrical cleaner? perhaps? the lights have some dirt, but the PLUGS seem pretty sealed.
There is a little copper clip on the housing that helps click it into space, I did deform that, but I think its just a construction part, not electrical?
