Click no start, small plastic feel from under dash
Hello all, well took the car out for a cruise today and I'm about an hour away from the house. Currently experiencing a click no start issue. My car has done this since I've owned it, now there is no click. Turn key and nothing, no click no start. A small plastic circle was found in the floorboard just now. Any clues????

As for fixing it, it appeared to me to be some sort of wax or plastic that they melted into the hole at the factory, and I assumed it would not be available as a standalone part. I ended up popping a door panel trim clip into the hole:

Ha, so it looks like a common problem. I have been looking around the house a lil trying to figure something out.
I thought about just putting some tape on it too but I'll go with the plastic rivet!
Thanks for all the help,

The fix I've been doing for ages is -
Go to Home Depot/Lowes and hit up the hardware aisle. There's a section with rubber chair feet. Find a rubber stick-on chair foot that's about 3/4" diameter or whatever is appropriate, they come in large packs. Peel and stick that dude on and you're done.
I've been using those rubber chair feet for YEARS on FC's and FD's, super cheap, works great, and holds up over time.
The bolt/nut technique will get you out of a jam, but that metal surface is hard on the plastic plunger and could break it over time. Mazda used rubber for a reason.

Rotary performance says to use a 10mm bolt and nut. In a moment of desperation, I unplugged the switch and just wired a temporary jumper wire. For the last year....
