    Can someone point me to where the ECU is mounted on a 1999?

    I feel like a dunce for asking but I am in a hurry to wrap up some work and can't find it...

    Its back by the grab handles underneath the seat. I can't remember if there is a little flap covering it or not, but there are two large connectors that connect to the wiring harness.

    Huh, must be a flap covering it.

    Thanks, I'll poke around in that vicinity!

    I have the Haynes manual but it makes no mention of it other than showing that it exists in the wiring diagram (but not telling you where).

    Mello Dude is correct! On my 98 it is under a cover with the same type of clips as the battery cover.

    When the person holding the end of the hose with the water coming out, asks...where is the hose bib?, I need to turn off the water.
