    Its in the passenger side foot well above the kick panel. Sometimes (like mine) it is behind the kick panel so you will have to get it out. Use a flat blade screw driver to prise the rubber trim out of the sill cover. Then lever the kick panel from underneath the sill and remove it to find the plug.
