eBay LED Map Lights = Service Shifter + Rear Parking Sensors message

[Giorgio_Rampa]

More of an FYI incase someone runs into this problem...

I changed the 2 map lights to LED, as soon as I changed them to LED, I got these two messages:
Service Shifter
Rear Parking Sensors deactivated (if you press the button to turn it on, nothing happens)

Switched back to the OEM peanut bulb (non-LED), both errors went away.

So much for putting LED bulbs there!


Edit:
Also the compass stopped working

I've had LEDs in mine for several months with zero issues.
I lied, every now and then the interior lights just wouldn't come on until the truck started. I've since swapped the led bulbs to canbus bulbs and haven't had issues.

I noticed my compass stopped working as well.

These were non-canbus LED, that's probably the issue.

I have non canbus LEDs in all my interior lights for over 5 years and no problem

Which brand LED's?

Got the compass back by doing a complete factory reset via the radio (Lost all the saved settings, presets and Bluetooth paired devices)

Finally upgraded all the interior lights to LED, missing one was the rear dome light:

Put these in MY 2019 5th Gen. They were also in my 2015 ED. No issues: Map lights and big dome light in rear and footwell.

The 4th gen uses a 44mm dome light bulb, I ended up putting these in the interior. They work perfectly.
