Mine doesn't light up either, and I doubt is is supposed to.

I'm thinking the light is for the SEM switch - the phrase "automatic 
transmission program switch light" dissects as follows after translation 
into English:

"Light for the switch which *programs* the automatic transmission", in 
other words, the light for the SEM (transmission programmer) switch.

If the light illuminated the shift bar in the console, it would be 
called out as "automatic transmission gear indicator light for console" 
or similar.

Always remember Ze Chermanss are Verrrry Prezeisse, nicht whar? And they 
are also very literal.
