Driver door handle and lock electronics.

When I was pulling those out, I saw that the handle had a switch activated part. I'm assuming thats for turning on the lock light on the steering column. The otherone is right above the lock and attaches to the lock mechanisc. It doesn't seem to b physically hooked to anything .... any clues on those?

I did not know they had this. I have had 3 Se's. I have had all of the door panels off and never saw anything attached to the lock cylinder it self. They all had the micro switch for the ignition lock cylinder light.

I feel ripped off now. Lol.
