Because it's under the dash, you'll likely need a flashlight to locate it. The best approach is to:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source for the precise location in your specific vehicle.
2. Look near the fuse panel: This is the most common area.
3. Search online forums: Searching for "1999 Chevy Monte Carlo inertia switch location" on forums like GM-Trucks.com or similar can yield images and tips from other owners.
If you can't find it after a thorough search in these locations, it's possible your vehicle might not have one, or it could be in a less common location. A mechanic would be able to help you locate it definitively.
