Auto Head Lamp Sensor Fell Into Dash

Just as the title says my headlight sensor fell into the dash. I thought that it was removed by prying it up and out of the dash(correct me if I'm wrong) so I don't know how it fell inwards. Any ideas on retrieving it? Will I be able to access it by removing the factory radio? Truck is an 02' F-250. Thanks in advance.

try taking off the fuse access panel( by drivers knees) you can see up behind radio from there
Might have to move some insulation

Can you get access to one of the video bore snakes? Even a small video camera
that you can look down the hole to go fishing for it with. You may be able to
get at it by removing the radio. Also look on the right side of the radio support
and look up between the defrost vents. I am using my 2006 for this info. So your
2002 may not be the same.
Is the electrical connection still on it? Maybe you could just blind fish for it.
