Thank you for your reply! I am looking for #3 in your pics. So the part #'s I found were on the Electrical Accessories, Steering SA parts page. Yes, I replaced the paddle part of the shifter about a year ago I think, because I broke it by a stupid mistake. Seemed to work well.
Now last month this problem started that the 'check engine' light comes on. I ran a code check and got PO826 - shifter. Doing some reading led me to believe that it isn't all that uncommon a problem. I'm just trying to pull some data together and check things out that would help, like checking connectors and wiring. But I wanted to see about sourcing a switch if I would need to go that route.
Ok, I just scrutinized that parts layout again, you are right, it shows the 2 different switches; I believe it is the multi switch, and then the shifter switch. They are listed each as $194. But I thank you for pointing that out! I don't know how long I poured over that picture and parts list trying to figure out why there were 2, and they were both for the SE5. I wasn't zoomed in close enough. When I did a search for parts, I picked the right one that I needed, so the correct pictures came up.
So, now I know what to look for if I need to go that way. Do you have any other suggestions as to what I might check out besides checking connections? It has been shifting without problem, even when that light comes on, but it makes me nervous. It went away for a few days, but now it has come on again. Strangely, both times it came on was right after I left the gas station after fueling up. But the last 2 days it came on before I even left the garage, so I didn't ride it, out of caution. I don't need to get stranded half-way to work or back.
Thank you again for your very helpful insights.
