It is taking a toll on the battery, is there a switch somewhere that I am not seeing or is there something else. Please help. I have pulled the light temporarilybut I want the system to work as it was intended. Ryan Toreador Red 1998 SVT #2843 "Performance in the hands of few"

Switch is black plastic about 1" square by 1/8" thick. Connector is in trunk below latch. Switch is normally closed, i.e., if it falls or is broken off light is on. 98 Mystique LS v6 atx 110,000km 97 Contour LX v6 atx 125,000km stock CD on LS, cass on LX spoiler, tinted windows on LS only 4 wheel discs on LX only All other available options on both
