Shifter D illuminated, lit.

Folks,
I've got my 2005 LR3, which is still very new to me. I've been looking over it for problems and issues or any oddities I can find, and I have come up with a couple things I'd like some thoughts on, as they may be related.
Shifter gives me zero problems switching between park and drive, shows it on the dash properly. When I kick it to the left for "sport" mode - it stays in D, according to the dash. up or downshifting makes no change, does nothing. Someone stated this may be some corrosion under the truck on the side of the transmission, for the linkage. It sure seems to clunk over properly, but I plan on checking that out to be sure.
The other oddity I've found related to the shifter that I've not had a great time searching for -- D is illuminated on the shifter. All of the time. When I'm out of the truck and the truck is off, the D is lit. I'm assuming this is NOT normal?
I've scanned the truck for codes and none come up for the transmission. Plenty for HVAC vents, etc but nothing for transmission.
Thoughts on this?

Probably need new shift linkage.. particularly if you are in a rust belt. I have all the parts, but have not had the problem yet.
This is not guaranteed, but a good start point.
Shift Components
LR012704 - Lever
WYH000040 - Nut - flanged
VYH500020 - Nut - Hex
TYG000050 - Bolt
TZT500040 - Bush
TYF000050 - Washer - spring

I believe the mechanical linkage sends gear selection status to the dash indicator, not the indicator by the gear lever. So I don't think this could be the issue.
I guess what I am looking for is what makes the gear indicator by the lever light up. Electrical contacts in the lever assembly? Anyone know?

I have a video I made. Remove the shift selector and look at the green circuit card that the harness connects to. I’m sure there is pins corroded at the bottom. I know this may be a little late, but I’m sure other have the same issue. This causes a transmission fault and keeps the gears illuminated even when you turn the truck off. Mine was stuck in “D” at all times even when shifted into park. Hopefully this could help someone.
