Looks like the switch for the right-hand seat latch. Why would you have to remove THAT for starter replacement?

I have no idea mate. First time doing some mechanic work, might have done that by mistake. Thanks for the tip, I will see if I can find the place where I need to put it back.

can you see where that wire comes from?,  the harness or from the motor ?  or some thing else ?  it is not clear what the end looks like

I was able to discover this is the sensor that lights up a lamp in the dashboard if and when the seat is open. Whenever you close the seat, you close the circuit, and the light in the dashboard goes off. The bad news is that I don't know where this should be fixed to  :-\

Right-hand seat latch! Or maybe the left-hand seat latch! Inspect the TWO seat latches that are at the rear of the seat and find the ONE that is missing a switch like the one in your picture!
