Not a broken pipe, but the lamp falling out just as Don already said. Once you get back in the car to work on it, it will all make sense to you.

Two lamps fit in the green colored sockets on the back of this heater light pipe.





One lights the top row of switches from this light pipe.



When the lamps fall out of their light pipes it looks kinda like this.
