In the earlier cars it was sorta above the driver's left knee. It's round, about 1.5" diameter by 2" long. I've seen red ones, green ones, orange ones, black ones.

I once lost brake lights in my '83 GL because of a bad connection inside the sensor. I repaired it and it lasted for the duration, and when the car expired someone put the repaired sensor to good use.

I believe it's behind the instrument panel. It's bright red and about the diameter of a juice can, and has a huge connector going into it. Remove the panle underneath the steering wheel, and you might be able to see it/access it from below.

Use a continuity meter on the terminals of the Lamp Failure Relay. 54 connects to 54L and 54R. 57L connects to 58L, 57R connects to 58R. 56b connects to 56bL and 56bR.
