Default Fixing a wobbly tilt and this metal clip fell out...


Pretty sure this mounts in the steerimg column for the hi-lo beams. But not sure how. Any suggestions are appreciated .
while I was tightening the steering column this little clip came out and I never saw where it how it attached. So I rebuilt everything and figure it has to dog with the hi-lo beams because they no longer toggle between them. Does anyone have a pic or suggestion as to how this is placed correctly?

If that is from the high beam then its from an internal part of the switch and would not be replaceable. After saying that it kind of looks like the clip that hold in the horn connector just under the wheel. The horn could still work its just going slip a part over time.

As for the hi/low dimmer , it is very easy to have the rod come out of place at the switch.


Opps, Key buzzer clip, It looks like the small clip on the bottom of the plastic clip.

Thanks. I think it came out after I had the horn assembly off and put away. I'll have to look at it when I get home . I think it fell off after I removed the plate the ring clip holds in place and the first set of torx screws were removed . but your attached link looks accurate .
do you guys think something like this will be in a shop manual for this car .I have one ordered.

The clip is the small white clip you have to remove before you can remove the torque bolt that holds in the ignition cylinder. It partially cover the torques head. Yes the manual should cover it.
