Abstract: An apparatus includes an electrical component with internal circuit, and a tether for keeping the electrical component in an easily-found position close to a location of future use. The tether has a first end attached to the electrical component with an adhesive first patch, a length wound around the electrical component, and a second end with an adhesive second patch, such as for adhering it to a vehicle body or headliner. The first and second patches include mating hook and loop material for releasable engagement to retain the tether in a wound storage position. In another form, the length is releasably held to permit sections of the tether to be pulled loose one at a time.
