I am answering my own question as I have now replaced my blown bulb. The hardest part was where the trim was to get access to the bulb holder, and I bumped into an old friend of mine who is a Ford technician. He knew where the trim was, so after that things were relativly straight forward. >
Ford B-Max_Changing a rear brake light or indicator bulb
The printed AND the PDF version of the B-Max owner's
manual are wrong and bear no resemblance to how to change the blown bulb. [ Page
165 on the PDF version ] Even the image of the trim is completely wrong. Here are
the step by step instructions.
Find the section of the interior trim in the boot that is
at the same height as the rear light cluster. It is small, only about 5 inches
by 5 inches, and has a faint X to insert your finger and PULL it away from the
rear of the car towards the seats.
Reach in to locate the (long) plastic WING NUT; this was
very tight on my B-Max, but I did manage to release it. Unscrew the long wing
nut completely, and be careful as the complete light cluster comes away from
the car !!
Pull out the white electrical connecter (the plug), and
the light cluster is free.
Turn the light cluster upside down; and you have to
remove the 4 pozi-drive / cross head screws to remove the bulb holder.
Replace the blown bulb, and reverse the above steps to
replace the light cluster. Job done !!
