ok its on the brake pedal toward the top part where it connects to the mater cylinder. Once under the dash, follow the brake pedal toawds the top till you see two wires hanging off the pedal (like i said they may be green im not sure)anyway, unplug it and the thing just slides over and off, that is when you take your flat head, and push down on the metal part of it(make sure you connect the wires again it makes no diff where you plug tham in so), not the black plastic, until the spring compresses a tad, and like i said before, have someone stand behind the car to let you know if the lights go on, if not, just get a new one to replace it

actually it depends, you could have it at the top of the brake pedal or it could be inline with your brake lines, so if it isnt one its the other, the pedal unit is easier to replace than the one that runs inline.

That's what happens when you ask a question about a cat on a pony forum.
