Small Light near Shifter ALWAYS ON! what gives?
 

hello, so i dont believe this is normal, any fixes...or..is it normal?
the small "dot" light on my automatic shifter always stays on...the light that illuminates nexts to P R D N etc etc...always stays on ..when the cars on off locked unlocked sitting for days. what gives?

always on, normal.

really? do you know why or the purpose?

not really, just that it is normal.

sounds good! thanks for the quick responce!

Mine goes off after approximately twenty minutes. It also goes off on my E60 after approx. twenty minutes also. Wagner, I may be wrong but I don't think that its normal for that light to be constantly on.

Cheers

Mine stays on all of the time too - been discussed many times...

mine is always turned on on both of my x5 and my e90

After turning off the motor go back and check in about half an hour and you will notice that the light is off.

Actually, I just came across is a previous discussion thread where it stays on for some people and goes off for some people, so go figure.:dunno:

if anyone cares...mine stays on all the time
