Need help identifying where this part goes

1990 Suburban

I took the steering column apart to fix the sloppy tilt column issue. When I was taking it apart at around this step, this little spring clip fell out. Now I don't know where it goes.

Re: Need help identifying where this part goes

The plastic is missing and looks to be bent up on the one end, but that sure appears to be the key reminder switch. there is a square hole under the T/S switch near where the ignition cylinder that it fits into. the plastic portion might still be there, just no metal part.

You are right on the money. That is exactly what it is.

Re: Need help identifying where this part goes

That is the right way. The copper tabs go at the top and point to the left when you are installing it.
