To check the wiring, pop up the trim ring around the shift boot without removing the shifter. You can trace the wiring once the boot is lifted up. |

If they won't replace it, and you want the OEM, let me know. I'd happily sell you mine.

I'm pretty sure the previous owner of the OPs car had swapped out knobs. The price of them new would be enough to make it worth swapping and reselling.
Good luck trying to get the dealership to warranty it. If they give you any run around then show them the pics on my DIY thread: http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77000 Those are pics of the OEM knob with the wiring etc. |

The Service Advisor I talked to today wasn't too informed so I seriously doubt that I'll be getting a free replacement. I'm thinking this is a good excuse to get the ZHP knob. |

Update--no electrical connections at the knob. No indication that the dealership would replace the knob or fix the issue.
Looks like I'll be ordering a ZHP knob... who has the best price? |

Definitely not attached. I replaced my lighted one with a zhp knob and am using the original boot.

I am more concerned about the lack of service on your car. The norm is an oil change at 1,200. I would definitely have that done asap. Also, your other fluids are over two years old (radiator and brake) so I would see of the dealer would change out as part of your free maintenance.
