Part number 002 544 23 32. There are a few out there but expensive. https://www.autopartsway.com/partdet...a_bid=6773b32f
First check all of your bulbs on that circuit to make sure they are working. You may have to remove and clean contacts or replace.

If you don't know where it is located it is to the left of the steering column behind the instrument cluster. Some have said they have reached it by removing the lower panel. I am not that limber. I remove the steering wheel and the cluster. Pretty easy IMO. Just don't start the engine with the cluster removed you will get an oil bath.
