Help identify a part found loose in my engine bay...

Found in a mk3 Mondeo 2.0 petrol.

The reverse has a 2 pin plug.

It's obviously (hopefully?) been replaced and the old one left lying where it shouldn't. All fluid levels are fine anyway.

I'm curious what it is if only so I can check there's a new one where it should be.

Oil pressure sensor..?

Nothing on google image search for that looks close - they have far more thread it seems.

After ages on google I've found it - reverse light switch. How random.

Do you have another plugged in?

Seems unlikely it would unscrew and unplug itself

Reverse lights work fine so must be.

From Googling it looks like a common failure so a previous owner/garage must have just switched it and left the old one lying around. Was just bothering me trying to figure out what it was
