If the 1991 is like my 1993 (similiar body style), the light switch is
located to the left of the instrument cluster. There are three
switches. Top for headlamps, middle for park lamps, and the bottom is
for the 4-way flasher. Are these three switches part of one unit as
Glen describes? The turn signal switch only controls the front wipers
in addition to the turn signals.
