Under the rear end of the car. If the previous owners left one.

Check your rpo codes (look in the storage compartment behind the passenger seat) to see if it had the spare tire delete option from the factory.

Don't worry - I know people who had their vette for years and didn't know about the hatch release on the doors among other things.

If there is one, its under the rear of your Vette. Best $10.00 spent.....
buy an owners manual. (I still read mine)

Best $100.00 spent....buy a FSM (factory service manual).

Both of the above, can be purchased either in the C-4 parts for sale section or on that national auction site.

If you don't already have one, here's a link to a PDF of the owner's manual.

And don't feel stupid, there are guys who have been climbing over the parking brake handle for years.

Now you can be banished.

I owned mine for about a year before I realized there was a curtesy light under the rear of the car. Never drove it much at night. And I even read my owners manual!
