    So I was trying to adjust the ignition switch..so I lowered the column and was messing with it..

    Here was my view before lowering the column & adjusting it..

    Then I leaned under the column to notice a pedal stuck to the floor!! I thought at first "Whats my brake pedal laying on the floor for!?" Then I kinda stepped back and realized what was going on :rofl2:

    An original automatic brake padel is twice as wide as what you have there - I guess you just didn't pick up on it :)

    Nice bonus - kind of like finding an egg in an Easter Egg Hunt :dance:
