The conspiracy theorist in me says it's part of BMW protocol to snip those wires in order to reject a claim or something. There's no need to snip them when installing an unlighted ZHP knob right? Just unplug the wire and you're set...
I really can't think of any other explanation besides the wire somehow getting cut during shifting. I didn't even strip and reconnect the wires. I replaced the stock knob for a M5 shift knob. I think it's pretty much the ZCP knob but lights up? Straight plug and play, easy to install.
