Now i had this issue about 5 yrs ago and after much trouble shooting it turned out to be a faulty new battery , i replaced my battery 6 months ago so thought surely not twice, so removed the battery and put on charger , disconnected the traxide system , checked all the earths near the battery, had a quick look at the connections behind the battery but all seemed ok.
tonight put the battery back in , start up and not even out the driveway and "Boong" same bloody thing... bastard i was watching the battery meter and it never dropped under 13.8V. pull forward , put my foot on the brake and noticed no brake lights...mmmm , pump the peddle and brake lights work... try a few more times and then they stopped working again...mmmm
fitted spare brake light switch , clear faults and go for a 15 min spin and no faults...
So what runs thru the brake light switch that would affect the vehicle dynamics signal...
Off to ford tomorrow to buy another switch .

I think ABS uses brake light switch as an input.Quote:

I ran for several months like this without any drama’s whilst fault finding a problem.
And cruise control.Quote:

Here’s a pic of the now welded part in questionhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...373b0870c8.jpg
I can’t weld aluminium so I paid a local boilermaker to do the job. He welded it up quite nicely and then upper bar is now solid

And a pic of the other side for comparison

Don’t forget that this is a collapsible bullbar not a solid ARB steel bar
