I could, it’s badly hidden. I also saw a diagram saying the same position, but it seems like a movie, I can’t locate it.

Thanks Ken.

Does this mean the dashboard has to come out? Or is just to remove the instrument cluster and can access it from behind?

I think if you remove the lower part of the dash you should be able to get to it. It will be in the lower left side of the dash.
