I believe there's a switch in the console that needs to be replaced. This a fairly rare issue.

They're part of the same circuit. The paddles work temporarily in D mode (will switch back to D if you stop shifting). The transmission is fully paddle controlled if you switch to DS mode first.

More info can be found if you want to stare at wiring diagrams in the repair manual.
