Any idea what this is and why it was hanging loose near the fuel filler vent valve? It doesn't seem to have a home.

So a little research and it's the Fuel Tank Bleeder Valve Contact Sensor (P/N 99661322401). Anyone here know where it goes?

Search for yogi garage. He has a video of him working in that area, and I believe he addressed that part.

Think I got it figured out. Looks like the sensor just rests into a slot on the filler valve body. It doesn't seem to clip into place so a little electrical tape should help just to hold it in position until the valve body is reinstalled,

That seems logical. I could not find a diagram of this area in the parts or service manual. There is a rough diagram of the parts here but electrical is separate so it does not show the sensor or any other electronics related to the area.
