The plastic housing had disintegrated. Works great, but I am afraid it will wear down my battery if I can't locate the actuator (switch) and test it... And I can't find it! My car is a 1997. Ideas?

If you have access to two iphones do face time call and put one in frunck and close it you should see the light go off.
