Default Identify interior screw for 2005 ES330

Hello!

After contacting my local Lexus dealer and not getting an answer, I figured someone on this forum would surely be able to help. By the way, I am new to Lexus- I bought a 2005 ES330 in December. So far, I am very pleased with it.

I happened to notice that the screw by the "Trac Off" switch is missing. I emailed a picture to the dealer, and he said he couldn't identify the screw that I needed and that appeared to be a standard Phillips head sheet metal screw. He offered to have me bring it in, but I thought I would try this forum first.

Here's a picture:



Does anyone know the size/type of screw that I need?

Also, to the left of screw is some type of ****....can someone tell me what that **** is for??

Thank you!

I think the **** is to control the volume of alarm when you lock and unlock the car.

Probably this one, or if not look at some of the other screws the part numbers are included.

Thank you. When locking the door with the key fob, I never used to hear any "chirp," but it did start chirping recently, and must be because of that ****/volume control.

Now if anyone knows more about the size/type of screw, I'll be set. Obviously, the screw isn't critical, but now that I know it's missing, it will bug me until I fix it....
