I have a 1993 Bucik Lasabre that has the lightswitch in the upper coner of the drivers door , how the hell do you remove it? I need to find the parking-light wire, I went to http://www.autozone.com and they showed a picture for my car but i was for bonnevilles and olds 88s but tehy do sell my type of switch I looked for the switch and it looks just like mines but they don`t have a diagram on how to replace/remove it.

ok i got the door panel off and i testedall the wires at the switch an d wires showed 12 volts with out the parkling light switch off and when i turned the switch on it still showed 12 volts , when the parking light switch is on shouldn`t one of the wires show 12 volts and when it is off should`nt it show 0 volts?
I tested each wire at the switch and none of them did what it was supposed to do if it was the wire for the parking light to work when you remote start the car here are the wires:

look for the brown wire low in the drivers kick or Also found at the lighting control module. The lighting control module is located to the left of steering column.

I have a Hornet remote starter and I need to hook up the parking lights so that when you remotely start the car the parking lights will flash and come on, I need to find the right wire for this to happen now I checked the light switch in the door(had to take door panel off) and none of themshowed 12 volts when the parking light switch was turned on and when I turn the switch off none of the wire went to zero volts.

The switch is going to show negative not positive, fyi. Maybe you should read my previous post? or switch the unit to negative output instead of positive and test for NEGATIVE at the switch. I can't remember how easy it is to get to the LCM.
