Jay:
Since I couldn't find the wires that are supposed to be in the passenger 
compartment, I just pulled out the two wires that plug into the switch in the 
engine compartment, attached long wires to those, and ran them back through the 
firewall to the "new" stop light switch above the brake pedal. If I take the 
time to find the wires in the passenger compartment, that will be a lot cleaner 
install.
