control module

Never put the control module in the engine compartment!
The first step in hot-wiring a vehicle is removing the driver's side underdash panel to
access the starter and ignition wires. If the control module is placed just behind the
driver's side dash it can easily be disconnected.
When locating the control module, try to find a secure location that will not require
you to extend the harnesses' wires (they are 1.5 meters long). Keep it away from the
heater core (or any other heat sources) and any obvious leaks.
Some good control module locations: Above the glove box, inside the center console,
above the underdash fuse box, above the radio, etc.
