Default Audio **** Replace ?
Anybody know purpose of the small piece metal pictured to right of **** that came packaged with ****. My '09 Service manual doesn't mention it in replacing.

No idea. The chrome replacements don't have that piece either.

looks like a shim of some kind. Maybe if the stud is worn this will provide added friction to keep it in place.

Ehh bet that is it Sarge. It will fit in slot of **** just figured it'd be mentioned in Service Manual. Maybe it was some type of addendum to part later.

It is a spring clip - prevents the **** from being too loose

It fits into the slot made for it in the ****. Helps prevent the **** from being loose, just as Weavr99FLHT said...replaced mine last week...fiddled with it a bit and sussed it out...

It's pretty easy put one on today. The switch shaft is like a half moon shape with knobby rough side & flat side. I inserted the small metal shim inside new **** and pressed it on pretty hard. To know if you're pressed it on far enough you'll have about 3/16" between main switch housing and audio ****.

If you have cruise control, just make certain you get the **** that is for that...it is a different **** than non-cruise models. The model number for cruise-equipped is 71822-98...the larger one for non-cruise is the one the OP pictured...I thought it was 71823-98, but the pic shows a different part number. Very inexpensive, $8.12.
