The ignition switch on C6 Corvettes is held in place by small plastic clips in the back of the dash. If the switch is pressed too hard it can be pushed out of the clips and fall behind the dash. If the clips are not broken you can easily re-install your Corvette Ignition Switch (http://www.zip-corvette.com/Zip/productr.asp?pf_id=X-2420) back in place. If the clips were damaged you may have to purchase a new dash gauge bezel, which comes with new clips.

If you have pushed your Corvette’s Ignition Switch through the retaining clips follow these steps to re-seat the switch.
Lower your Corvette’s steering column to its lowest position.
Pull outward on the lower edge of the trim panel in order to release the lower clips.
Disconnect the electrical connections.
Reach around and re-seat the ignition switch into the retaining clips if the clips are not damaged.
Re-connect the electrical connections and re-install the trim panel. While you have your Corvette’s trim panel off, now might be a good time to upgrade your Corvette Ignition Switch (http://www.zip-corvette.com/Zip/productr.asp?pf_id=X-2420) to a painted switch. The custom painted ignition switches*are actual GM replacement switches that are painted to match your Corvette’s color and they install just like the stock switch. The new painted switches are available*in all exterior Corvette colors plus factory interior colors including cobalt red and cashmere.
