Thread: What is this spring !! Found it on my drivers side floor.

I found this on my drivers side floor. Any ideas on what it could be ?

Approximately 6" long by 3/4" diameter.

Switchblade style tampon applicator ??

The wife said something like that also.

The blend door actuator stopped working the other day, wonder if this might be an internal spring to the blend door ?

Just guessing at this point, no fun crawling upside down under the dash at my age.

It might be for the steering wheel tilt lever.

I thought that also, because shortly before finding it I used the tilt. lever still works though.

keep in mind i drive a regal, but if i pop off my console top cover part off, then around and under the shiftier rectangle part is a spring just like that in all 4 corners. i can push down on all 4 corners and it springs back up when its all installed, so try pushing on all 4 corners, see if one has no spring to it.

I popped the center console (between the seats ) cover off an looked all around the shifter and there are no springs in that area.
GP must be a little different than Regal, thanks.

I also checked the brake pedal , under seat spring, e-brake springs and hood release.

What about seat recline return?

Not yet, good point, i will check it tomorrow. thanks

Ask the kids...They'll know!

Could be a dart gun or something, boy would I feel stupid.
