Default Need to disable courtesy light timer, where is it?

On a '85, I know its under the dash on the passenger side. It may even be taped to the harness. But I have looked a couple of times by removing the lower panel and can't see it. Anyone have a pic or a detailed description of where it is exactly? I have the Helms and it shows it but I can't see it. The timer is just flashing the lights quickly. Looks like all I can do is bypass it. Any help appreciated.

Book shows it taped to the top side of the main harness behind the breadbox, maybe 6-12 inches away from the fuse panel.

Looks like a tough place to get to. I don't see any way of cutting power to it either, everything is buried.

I think you must take dash away, then it is easy to see. In my -87 it is taped to harness behind pass side air pipe.

Found it. What a pain, it wasn't buried really deep just taped to the harness under the breadbox next to the computer. I just spliced the 3 white wires together. Good for now...

Thanks,
