So I changed my water pump, belts, and thermostat. At the end of it I am left with this clip. Any ideas where it goes? clip.jpg
Anyone? I appreciate the feedback very much guys
Given your repairs, I'd guess it was a locking clip for a hose. Check all of the hose connections.
Yeah I did but couldn’t find it. I checked the electrical connections too. This clip is very specific, thick silver. Not like the others which makes me think is goes somewhere specific
Go to 3:00 in this video this is the start of removing hose clips. I believe your part is a hose clip.

This a a fantastic video, i referred to it when I did mine. This is a small clip though and not pictured. Thank you though!
ok
Go to 1:10 in video, you'll see a thick silver clip actually on the thermostat housing the person in the video is displaying. Perhaps this is your leftover part. If so, let's hope it came off the old one you replaced and didn't slip off your new unit. If you still have the thermostat housing you took off, check it for this silver clip. If this clip isn't on the old part your good to go.
