the comp is probably not even in the engine compartment.. but probably up under the dash. Surprising my shop manuals do not tell you where evrything is.. so I cannot be more of a help than that.

Come to think of it, I think the dealer told me at one time that box under the radio was part of the airbag mechanism.
