Sitting it your passenger seat, reach under the edge of the dash. It is mounted in a hard to reach position.

I couldn't find mine either. The only thing I can see is the plastic covering for the heater unit and blower motor. Am I looking in the wrong place? I even pulled the glove box out and still couldn't find it.

Thanks for the help

I actually found it on the driver's side to the right of the steering colomn. But, the plug doesn't seem to be numbered the same. The first side only goes to 13 and the other side goes to 28. Does anyone know if the plugs for testing the solenoids are still C 14 15 & 16?

i don't think that's your TCM, i think that's your ECM. but i'm not familiar with 97 and up.

actually, i just realized on my 93 the ecm is under the hood, so you may be correct.

Thanks Tannerp. Would be great to finally be able to know which wires are for what in that plug.
