In case anyone was wondering, you have to replace the wiring at a connection point beneath the gear selector indicator that also includes the bulb and holder. It's part # 30856078 and runs about $14-17.

Okay, thanks for the replies. To clarify: engine was at operating temp. when I did the test and I do already use synthetic oil.

Just replaced the one in my 2003 S40, and this info was a big help.

I suppose I could just cover it with rags/plastic (once cooled). Is it simply a matter of clamping the hose, unscrewing it ...

I was replacing my gear shifter knob yesterday, and I accidentally popped the entire gear selector panel out of the center console when I pulled the gear shifter off.
