Automatic gear selector indicator light flickers when reverse is selected

Hi

The base of the automatic gear selector has a few orange lights indicating which gear you have selected. It seems when I select reverse I have an intermittent issue where the gear indicator light flickers.

Moving the selector around sometimes cures the problem but not always. So before I start stripping most of centre console and gear selector to pieces can anyone offer any constructive advice or any diagrams or instructions to help resolve the problem.

Thanks in advance,

Steve
