Anyone recognise this part?

Postby busheytrader » 07 Apr 2021 20:44

I had to replace a warning bulb in the dashboard. I hate removing the binnacle.

After I’d returned the binnacle back to its home and screwed everything together, I found this white plastic part looking lost in the footwell. I’m assuming it came out of the binnacle housing. Does anyone recognise this before I take it apart again?

Images not showing. Not sure I recall any detachable white plastic parts though apart from the central lens housing (I think).

Looks like part of a cable clip or similar, I striped out a dash last month but don't recall anything like that but it could have been fitted by a PO.

Thanks Olivier!

Everything on the blue circuit board looks so fragile, I handle it as carefully as possible. I’ll keep this clip safely until I have to open up the dashboard again.
