I had a problem with the display being very washed out and they replaced it under warranty. The switch itself was fine.

Gremlins in the tranny? - HANDS-ON ENTHUSIASTS, please help!

Back-up lights light up in park. Go out once you switch to drive.

Check engine light.
Under engine fault codes - 18032 MIL Signal Active
Under Transmission:
00293 - Multifunction Switch (F125) 27-00 - Implausible Signal
00526 - Brake Light Switch (f) 27-00 Implausible Signal

Any way I can trick out the ECU to stop it from throwing these codes? I can clear the code and drive around without it reappearing, but as soon as I re-start the car, the check engine light comes back on.

So far I've heard
a) check all bulbs (fine)
b) replace the multi-function switch that sits somewhere on the transmission

Who's got some ideas?
Thanks for helping.
