Small metal piece fell from under dash. What is it?

[ghetdjc320]

Hello all,

 

before I dig under the dash to find what this is or where it goes, I’m sure one of you has seen this and know exactly where it goes 😆. I was driving along and this piece fell out from under the drivers side dash somewhere between the parking brake and the regular brake pedal. Looks like an electrical contact for a switch of some sort.

Now that's a good question.

 

My first guess is the contact for the switch that lights up the BRAKE light on the cluster when the parking brake is on. Does that still work?

 

I don't actually know exactly what this piece is, but that's my best guess. If it's not that, maybe ignition switch or headlight switch guts? Has anything abruptly stopped working after this piece fell out?

That’s a good guess. I’ll check that out in the morning (it’s dark here now and I don’t have a shop to work on it at night. Plus I’ve seen the huge centipedes that can land you in the hospital crawling around at night 😆). Headlight switch still works fine and from what I can tell, everything else does also. Haven’t had the parking brake light connected for a good while though.
