1984 Cutlass supreme brougham steering colum issue

I have a taken the column apart to fix some issue and I have a spring that I recognize but fell out and cant remember where it goes. I have looked at diagrams but they are not clear enough to tell. I have tried to attach a picture I dont really know what Im doing though.

Does it look like one of these?

Kinda looks like the spring for the key buzzer switch...the little plastic switch the slides in the hole under the ignition lock cylinder.

That GMTech1 guy is good!!!!!!!

:smile: I used to rebuild those on a fairly regular basis...

I have that plastic piece with the two tangs coming out in the groove under the switch. I have tried everything I can think of to put it with that, because thats what I thought also but cant get it to go.

Many times over thank you for your help. You were absolutely correct. I had to walk away from it for a bit and went back and got it in. Thanks again.
