After a cricket noise fix my indicator strip has a problem.

During my first service check up my dealer ordered a new console cover to eliminate the cricket noises. The replacement did eliminate the cricket noises (we will see how long this lasts).
Unfortunately the gear indicator strip on the console no longer lights up at night when the lights are on and the indicator strip gets very hot to the touch.
I brought my hybrid in to have this checked out. I also have another rattling noise coming from the dashboard on the passenger side which the service tech confirmed- but could not locate the source. They are also looking at my armrest to figure out why that clicks/squeaks as well on rough and bumpy roads.

Anybody else have indicator strip issues and passenger side rattles?
