Default 1999 Jeep Cherokee where is the PCM?

I am just wondering where the PCM is in my 1999 Jeep Cherokee?

Also what are the left and right latches for the hood called? One of mine quit latching so I need to replace it.

Thanks

I think your PCM is located on the driver's side front fender right next to the air box.

The hood latches are just called hood latches, as far as I know. Before you give up on the hood latch, spray it good with penetrating oil. sometimes they just get rusty and/or sticky with dried grease and dirt.

I use a product called Fluid Film for hood and door latches. It's also good for hinges on the doors, hood and lift gate. It lubricates and never dries up.

Thanks I did hit it with some wd40 and now the latches work fine. I really need to get some fluid film though I read about it a while ago and sounds awesome.

Thanks for the pcm location I think I see it.
