Zf Auto Shift Light. -Strange.

[Rudiger]

I have an 07 BF T with a 6 speed ZF. Done around 180k. All works well (touch wood).

Ive had a BA before so I know whats happening isn't right.

The dim shift light that lights up when all lights are turned off but the ignition is on doesn't appear anymore.

Normally, I wouldn't care but it happened a year or so ago when I removed the ICC to fix a fault and it hasn't worked since. The selector globe is ok cause it works at night and when I switch the ignition 5on it flashes.

Now, does everyone see a shift light during the day or should I reduce my meds? Is there only one globe in there or two? Sounds silly. Have I broken something?

Its just like a dash rattle. Has been worrying me for a while but searching here and there brings nothing.

Im going to replace the globe in there now. That may shed light ( no pun intended), hopefully there is a simple answer.

Thanks in advance.

There is a 15A fuse under the ignition/obd2 port inside the car.

Maybe check/replace?
