For future reference, use a wrench, not bits.

Or a plastic baggie or some tape to secure it to the driver...

Yeah, well hindsight 20/20 so not of much help now... sorry.

However, in order to retrieve the bit maybe use some 3M double sided automotive adhesive tape on the driver or some gorilla tape and of course a magnetic driver helps.

Good luck

Ignition switch

Check the ignition switch. I had a similar issue about a week ago. I restarted the car and the headlights worked.

A few days later, no headlights, no climate fan (display was on), and no wipers. I went to restart the car but when I put my hand on the key the wipers, fan, and lights turned on.

It turns out the ignition switch is wearing out and I have to turn the key backwards a few degrees after starting to move it from start to run position for the headlights, wipers, etc. to work.
