Ok. Here is the final fix for the lower light in the console turning off when open and on when closed. There is a micro switch (as expected) but it is buried within the console. to get to it you have to take the console apart and replace the "faulty" switch. The team at Tesla Knoxville procured a replacement console but were able to disassemble, replace the switch and reassemble without scratching or creating another problem with the console. So they have an entire extra console minus one switch. My problem is solved so I am happy. It took them 2 hours which is probably the same amount of time it would take to replace the entire console.I can confirm the “go to” fix for the light issue in the lower console is to replace the entire console. As simple a issue as it seems, it is not assessable nor configurable at this juncture. Hope they can simplify this through a hardware change on future builds or just better QC the vehicle. I tell you, its the small things that would only takes seconds to check or do right that drive me crazy.
So, I do recommend getting the fix but just be straight with the service team that if they happen to scratch your carbon (or wood), while trying to replace this one micro switch, to go ahead and replace the whole darn thing.
