You have rough roads? It could sometimes be as simple as the bulb being loose.

And i will tell you know its a b**ch to get at, very small/tight compartment. It took me 5 mins to put in a LED FFS...

No. That **** has NOTHING to do with anything mechanical/electrical. All it is is a transmission lock. So that part that doesn't allow the car to turn off on Neutral. You depress that and the car can be off, move from 'Park' to 'Neutral'.
