    Need some help with finding the ignition override/program switch

    Some people call it a valet switch? Point is, in the steps to program a new key fob, I need to hold this button down, and I can’t find it. Checked all the locations where everyone said it might be (under the dash, center console, glovebox, etc)

    The car has a full on dealer installed PowerCode security and remote start system that is operational. Has a status LED and all. This switch is part of the system but I just can’t find it??? I wish I could find a wiring diagram, because I could trace the wires from the security module to the button. So frustrating man.

    Thanks for the tip man. Searched there but found nothing. Last night I found a 20 year old forum with a blurry photo and it was a wiring diagram of my module; I got wires to trace.

    Found the switch, had to take apart the whole driver side dash. Was in an inaccessible location.
