Default Triptronic Problem?

Is there a fuse for the triptronic feature? All of sudden it doesnt work. Doesnt do anything? Any advise? I checked the side fuses and nothing.

I might be that the magnet in the shifter has broken off. This happened to mine. In the rolling sleeve that moves with the shifter there is a magnet, when this magnet is moved over to tip mode it turns on tip mode, when you move the shifter forward and back to shift the magnet activates switches to tell the trans to shift. To check this out you have to take off the cover with the gear numbers and pull that sleeve out.

The shift **** is the hardest part to get off, It's not really that bad just takes a while. But if that is the problem then the dealership is $65 for a new one.
