Well, to be honest, there could be any number of places that the 'kill switch' can be. But I'll kinda give you an idea, based upon my 10+ years of experience in the alarm/stereo installation:

Glove compartment
Center console
Kick Panels (driver's & passengers)

Another place could also be right where the release lever is at for the fuel door. Your best bet, though, would be to go to either a local alarm shop, or maybe even Radio Shack, purchase/pilfer a switch, find the alarm 'brain', and the corresponding plug for the kill switch (I believe it's a blue plug on DEI products), and swap switches. Or, if you've gotten THAT far, just trace the wire back to the switch.

One more kink in this plan, though, would be that the installer may have integrated the kill switch with one of the existing OEM switches (fog light, cruise control, etc..).

These are just MY $0.02 worth, but hopefully it's a start. Good luck.
