If it is the f-body in your sig , it is on the bottom of the steering column closer to the firewall. Note exactly where it is mounted as it is adjustable and you can get it all out of whack.

You unbolt the support that holds it up..there are 2 nuts.
It'll drop down enough to where you can reach it.

Any updates on this? I'm about to tear into mine. What part number did you get for the switch? Pics of the part?
