Hey guys.... I'm stumped! I took apart my steering column this evening to find the source of my loose wheel condition. As it turns out, it was the annoying 4 bolts that GM never thread-locked! OK, I got it all apart, torqued the bolts, and got it about 2/3 of the way back together.... and found this clip laying on the carpet under the steering column..... I can't find a parts breakdown of an 84' steering column andywhere on the web.... anyone have one? More so... has anyone taken their steering column apart to accomplish this fix? I found one really nice posting with detailed pictures.... but I dont see the clip anywhere... I'd really like to find a breakdown of the column though so I can see if this clip belongs in there or if maybe it came off of the turn signal mechanism. As a note to others considering this task, it's not hard to do, it took me about 45 minutes to get to the point where I found the clip.... I would have been done in an hour had it not been for this clip.

The plastic piece, I'm going to look up the GM part number, it's probably obsolete, but I need to find out what it's called and what it's for. I had pieces of it floating around in the column..... it was pretty much shot... any help is appreciated!

Thanks Brad

 

got it fellas... sorry. Just for other's information, this is the Ignition Switch Key Warning Buzzer Clip... not to be confused with the ignition switch key warning buzzer..... two seperate parts.... this one fell out and was laying right next to the actual switch...
