it's integrated in the ECM which is located under the front panel under the headlight pod. There was a recall on them(several times) Your's may need done, it may have been done already. The vin needs ran to see if it applies.

have a deasler run the vin# to see if the recall has been done. if not then you will get it fixed for nothing.
