I give up....where is it?
Discussion
Having owned the Monaro for a few months now, i decided it's time to get the quiet plates out of the wortec exhaust and go loud. So today i got under the car for the first time and got a fair shock....the exhaust plates have got the electric doings attached.
Having recovered from the shock i set about searching for the switch, but it's obviously very well hidden coz i can't find it anywhere. I followed the wires from the exhaust, into the boot, then to the interior where they disappear behind the n/s trim.
I'd rather not remove the cars entire interior just to find the switch was under my nose all the time, so if anyone can point me in a likely direction i'll be internally grateful.

Unfortunately i have no history on the car other than the dealer service history.
The switchable goodies are definately hooked up, black and red wires leading from little motors on both back boxes, through the boot floor to what looks like a relay next to the fuel tank and then on inside the car.
I've lifted the rear seats and can see the wires heading for the front of the car behind the side panel, but no sign of them coming out anywhere.
Would have been quicker to change the plates.

ok, i've just been for another look, you're right, it's not a light switch.
There are 2 things stopping me from feeling like a complete lemon, the first is the picture on the switch which looks very much like a dome light and the second is that the switch doesn't actually do anything.
I can only assume that if this is the missing switch (feeling like a lemon again now) then the switching mechanism is seized due to lack of use.
I'll investigate further tomorrow, thanks for the advise and lack of abuse, which i may well deserve.
