Dash lights may cure themselves if you are just patient. There are countless posts here about dash lights after battery disconnect/replacement. So it's too early to panic about that.
If you have power and the bulbs are good, then I'd look for a bad ground. Forget the fuses - grab a voltmeter...
This got me curious, so I looked within 25 miles. There's only 4. I picked one to randomly check. 4X4 with skid plates, floor mats, trailer mirrors, trailer brakes, bed utility group. And the V6. They're gonna end up warrantying the battery before it sells.
Another one that I am surprised...
I haven't noticed it locking out 8th gear, but it does disable MDS.
It also downshifts to hold speed when you have your foot off the pedal on downgrades.
I use Tow/haul often.
Auto if there's a chance I might need the extra traction. Where I live, that means rain or a chance there's ice on the road. High means I know I'll want the extra traction. Dirt roads or snow. So far the only time I've put it in low was to test that it works.
Go to the underhood fuse box and check all the nuts securing the cables along the side. I know there are a couple threads bout this, but the search box isn't working for me. Several people have found them loose, and at least one has had a nut completely come off and disappear.
Until I went into UConnect and set it to display the ECO light, the only way I knew my MDS was engaged was by watching the instant fuel economy. It goes in and out very smoothly.
When you do it, move the coil pack to another cylinder, just in case plugs alone doesn't cure it. If the misfire moves with it, you'll know it's the coil. If the misfire stays, you can start worrying about other stuff.
