Hi: Newby here: I just bought a 2000 C5 convertible and found this lying on the passenger floor. It looks like it may have had a steel ball in the middle, But I do not recognize this thing. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Bill. P.S. So far ABS/TC out, drivers mirror broke, seat bladders not filling, A/C not blowing cold and it's only day 2.

Where is the picture? ( " found this thing on the floor. )
No help available for the ABS
seat bladders are in the 400 dollar range. ( but you can buy blood pressure cuffs from China for under 60 dollars for all 8. takes about 6 weeks to get them ( 4 infant and 4 adult ) single feed )
Mirror can be a few things
Ac can be many things
You bought this car two days ago and bought it in this condition?
Welcome to the forum..

Haven't seen that part before. Passenger seat operating correctly? Part of the passenger seat track maybe?

Good news on the seat bladders. I will call you when ready to tackle that project. My passenger seat appears to work correctly front to back and tilt angle, just no bladder pump up. Getting ready to pull both seats and will compare pass side to driver side and look for that pin. Thanks all for the responses.
