New style taillights on a 93 help

Hi everyone,
I need some help converting to the newer style taillights. When trying to wire up the new connection for the new(er) harness, I could not find the blue and grey connector (brake switch) with light blue wire i need to tap into. What I did find is a black and blue harness with only 3 wires, blue, orange, and yellowish. The blue wire running to this harness does control the turn signel as light blue wire for the later models does. Does anyone have any experience with 93's wiring?

Thanks
eric

The switch mounts right up around the top of the brake pedal. Its pretty hard to miss.

Thanks for quick response, but the problem is I followed those instructions and the my car does not switch that is mentioned. My brake switch is black with a blue top with only 3 wires coming out of it, blue, orange, and pale yellow. The blue wire is the wire for the brake lights themselves, the turn signals still work whether this is cut or not. There is another switch(i believe it's a switch) mounted above the brake switch with 2 wires, but the turn signals still work regardless if its harness is unplugged or not. So, does anyone else with a 93 have any experience with this?

Thanks

just to clairify, the install guide is correct with connecting the blue wire from the brake switch to your newly ran wire, but if you look at this http://www2.phrontifugic.com:361/nflashhome.htm site (under how to), it tells you to look for a silver box with a black and gray connector with approx 5 wires. On my 93, there is no silver box, there are 2 black boxes, one above the other.The top box has 2 wires (can remember what colors) and the bottom box with 3 wires, blue orange and yellow. This is the blue wire you cut and connect to.

Thanks for all your help

So you figured it out? That blue wire was the correct one?
