I am certain it is the former scenario. To fix it, you have to remove the centre console trim to reveal the automatic gear shifter assembly.
Trace the largest connector that you unplugged while removing the centre console (I believe it is blue and has 6 pins/wires) until you find where the 6 wires disappear where the enter inside of the gear shift assembly. You will have to remove the wires from the clips that they are wound around, and unwind the tape holding the wires together to be able to see where they are cut/damaged properly.
For me, the wires were broken about 1-2 inches away from where the wires enter the shifter assembly. I used a soldering iron and heat shrink to repair the wires. Only 2 wires were completely cut, but the rest were all partially cut.
That’s it. If you go to the dealership and they notice the shifter lights not working, they will offer to repair it, but they only replace the entire shifter assembly. Thats a huge waste of parts when re-connecting the wires is so much easier.
When putting it all back together, do not wind the wires the same as they were from the factory. Avoid the two 90 degree turns, that along with shifting into DS mode is what puts the most strain on the wires.
There is a thread on these forums detailing this procees, aswell as on Youtube.
