Its located on the transmission behind the bottom radiator hose that goes to the back of the motor.
It will be a cylinder that sticks out form the tranny.
there's only two long bolts holding it on 12mm and two wires connected to it 10mm bolt and the other unplugs.
very simple and easy to replace with a new one.
