Was the bulb actually blown?
I would suspect a wiring issue.. not a control issue
(Check the hatch wiring )
Yep, the original brake bulbs are kinda quirky oddball units (tooth-type rather than screw type) and I actually replaced the right bulb about 6 months before the left one blew, and the hatch wiring seems fine on all fronts (the bulb socket registers current with a tester screwdriver, but I haven't held a proper voltmeter to it to see if there are any undue fluctuations).
Herts Hillhopper said:My 4x4, the ELD light in the dash doesn’t illuminate if I press the button. I don’t think it’s supposed to. I do get the ‘connected’ message and the light in the button itself is on. The dash light should only illuminate if the ELD actually kicks in - and then should only show during the (usually brief) time that actually happens (see pages from the owner manual below). The ELD light is green. The light does not illuminate if 4x4 is active (with or without the button pressed) and engages but without needing the ELD as well. In other words, there is no indication on the dash that 4 wheel drive (but not the ELD) has been engaged.
This might be a pre-Cross oddity (I have an early 2012 4x4), as the way it has always worked up until now has been pressing the button (green led on button turns on) with the dash display writing "ELD Connected" and the green ELD light illuminating at a fixed state. The ELD light then flashed when it was actually doing something in slippy stuff, and would turn off above 50kph (though the button would still be pressed and the led on the button would still be on). Back when the rear brake pads had worn down, I got the "ELD Unavailable" warning and a yellow ELD icon on the dash. Maybe it was wonky then, maybe it's wonky now. At this moment though, I've got bigger issues, such as the -30C temperatures gelling the diesel, causing a whining fuel pump, and despite the brand new battery, cold starts are immensely clunky (despite the heater coil light staying on for a few seconds I suppose it's not enough to de-gel the fuel).
