Hey Guys I hate to sound like a dumb a$$ but where is the cargo light switch located on a 1987 Silverado. I looked all under the dash and still can't find it.
Thanks,
Melmann

On my '86 its on the rear driver side roof pillar. If you were sitting in the driver seat it would be behind your left ear.
