1996 Chevy S10 Ignition Cylinder spring..switch... thing.
Not sure how best to describe this component, didnt find one on RockAuto:
When you replace the ignition lock cylinder on a 96 S10, there is a white plastic spring loaded switch that rotates out of place to remove. It has a little spring loaded peg that makes or breaks a connection when actuated by key rotation.
Mine is cracked and the spring has sprung into oblivion. Before I try to superglue this thing together or splice the wires or whatever insane hack I'm about to try, I figured it was smart to access the hivemind.
Two photos are my busted one, third is from a video where the mechanic removes one cleanly.
That video is here, starting from the relevant bit.

What is this thing called to search for, or what's my solution here?
Thanks.
