Should be in the firewall on the passenger side. Follow the heater hoses to where they disappear into the firewall, and you'll roughly know. Definitly get a manual for this or some kind of procedure. IF your in a bind, need to drive it and don't need heat, you can cut and splice the two lines together to bypass the heater core. Just becareful that the two lines are standard bulk hose for when you do replace the core. Sometimetime they are special dealer only lines that can get expensive and/or make more work that you wished for.
