Weird cable hanging from my steering column?!

As i went to check under my dash to see if i had the error code module on the right, i noticed this white wire hanging from under my steering column. Its got a loop at the end and a green plastic bracket. I took a picture because the wire and bracket is just hanging there not connected to any thing which kinda scared me.




Anyone know what that is??

At first i didn't want to mess with it..

But i said what the hell... turns out it was just a wire that would connect to the drive selector of an automatic transmission. I pulled it and the little red needle went across the range.

I'm releaved. I thought it would be the eject button or something. Good thing i know that one is next to the light switch.
