Default License Plate Lights quit working Please Help!

So I installed a new hitch receiver on my 05 Ranger Edge and after that my license plate lights no longer work. They did before and I know that it's not the fuse. I need any help I can get. Please and thank you!

Might want to go back and check for wires you unplugged or pinched off.

Thank you, I've been trying to but can't seem to find any pinches yet. Until I have more time to actually work on checking connections I've mounted a flashlight as a temporary license plate due to having to drive at night for work. Rednecking it up for the time being.

The plate wires run along the back of the bumper you must of nicked one when you installed the hitch.

I have a 2004 Ranger and the running lights and license plate lights run off the Black Wire with a Pink tracer. Are your back lights working when you turn on your headlights ?

Yup my back lights still work, everything except the license plate lights are still working.
