Drive wheel indicators on dash

Hi,
Not a big issue, but I noticed recently that the little vehicle map in the center of the instrument cluster no longer shows a green light for the left rear wheel.
Physically I know there's nothing wrong as the vehicle is running perfectly and it's impossible to disengage one of the rear wheels from the differential (under normal conditions of course) , so it's probably the little light behind the schematic on the dash that's faulty.

Still it bugs me and I'd like to know if anyone else had this before and how difficult it is to fix?

Any comments?

Thanks

You do not state if its Gen3 or 4 ?

When I had my Gen3, I removed the cluster to check / replace a bulb (tiny little bulbs) and that was the start to a series of temperature gauge malfunctions (an old story on Gen3's. The Gen3 cluster is pretty simple to remove, I imagine the Gen4 the same. Honestly I would just live with it. As you say impossible for 1 x rear wheel not to be engaged.

Hi.
Thx for feedback. Yes, it's a Gen 3.

Subsequently I've found 1 or 2 other posts online with similar complaints ( 1 for a diff lock light indicator) and have realised it is simply one of the little bulbs that have gone.
Will make a nice December task to remove and replace all the current bulbs with little LEd's.

Cheers
