As the description states, I have an 06 325i and for some reason, when the car is off, key out, fully shut down, etc. the Park indicator on the console is still lit up.
It took a while to notice it but the car has seemed to crank slower than it should as it has a "newer" battery.
Maybe this is causing a parasitic drain is the thought.
If you grab the lever and pull it rearward ever so slightly the light goes off.
Bump it back to the "at rest" position and the light comes back on.
We have been trying to remember to pull it back to keep the light off when parking it for the nite, or whenever, but it shouldn't be doing this.
Thoughts on how to easily fix this?
I could tear into the console but shifters are complex animals and the switch could be buried in such a location I couldn;t see or reach ti easily anyways...so some advice would be appreciated.
