Where is the Turn/Hazard-Switch?

I'm trying to swap the standard taillights on my 89 Formula with TransAm-Taillights, and I want to change the wiring as well, because I want it as on Trans Ams where the inner two bulbs are stop and turnlights and not seperate stop and turnlights.

So I have to redirect the blue wire from the brake switch that leads to the rear turn lamp on my lamp to the turn/hazard switch as you can see in this wiring diagram. Picture

I found the brake switch and the blue wire, I found the turn flasher and the hazard flasher on the convenience center, but I can't find the turn/hazard switch where I have to put the blue wire from the brake switch at connector P. (Marked red in the picture)

Where is it located? Can anybody help me?

Thanks
Andreas

The switch itself is located inside the steering column. The connector for it is clipped to the right side of the steering column.

Thanks. That's why I couldn't find it.

Can you tell me, how I can best reach the switch? Because my formula don't have the white wire, that leads from the switch to the connector on Trans Ams, so I need to access the switch, to put it in there.

To get to it you will have to remove the steering wheel.
