Like the engine computer? It is located behind the glovebox, it sits in a tray, with a strap on it. Undo a few bolts and it slides right out...

how do you get at the bolts? from under the dash by the heater blower? what do you have to remove to get at it if anything? does it slide out towards the glove box or drop down? thanks for the help

When you take out your glovebox you should be able to get to the bolts or screws w/e y ou want to call them... After they are out, the two "straps" slide out and you can pull the computer towards you out of the glovebox hole. You may or may not have to disconnect the computer first, depends on how much slack you have in all the wires in there.

Like green said, take your inner glovebox out, has a few small screws holding it in...

Give it a very firm yank towards you, i'll slide about an inch off its mounting plate. Its a firm yank.
