Ha! Got it. After fixing the signals (in about 10 min) I spent what seemed like an hour trying to reattach the clip. I walked away before something ugly happened. Then Holly (my lovely wife) gave it a shot. This kind of thing is a breeze for her. She got pissed and bailed, too. Much later last night I strolled back into the garage and without the aid of a flashlight, my reading glasses and using just one hand, I reached in and popped both into place.
Maybe my casual demeanor was the key . . .
Thanks, guys.
