So now for a question...

What is this part? I couldn't find its home when reassembling the steering column. It all seems to work fine without it. ;)

no its not the buzzer switch that juhap posted, that is in place. It is some kind of spring. I think it fell out of the left side when I was removing the column cover.

Juhap and ammachine390 are right, but just off.  It's the clip for the buzzer switch.  You can see it in the steering diagram in the eaglepedia.  I took a column apart and this part took me hours to find where it went!
