i know this seems a bit stupid, but i need to replace my ecu but dont really have the time to look for it. can anybody explain to me where its located in the car? thanks

 

Passenger side kick panel

 

You should download the FSM that is located on this forum. Obviously you need it.

 

you'll have to remove the scuff plate along the bottom door seam, and the kickpanel is held in by two plastic tabs, you pull the center circle out to remove them. four yellow plugs in the back of the ecu of varying sizes. they can be a pain to remove, sometimes i carefully use a very small flatblade screwdriver to depress the tabs. there also is a ground you'll have to remove, 10mm nut.
