The TCM for our LXs is located under and to the left of the steering wheel. It is located just to the right of the Boston Acoustics Amp (if so equipped).
1) To access the module, start by removing the trim piece in the door jam. This piece is held in by two pressure clips and should just pull right out.
2) Removal of this trim piece reveals the first of two screws that must come out. These are both standard #2 phillips screws.
3) The second of two screws is located just to the right of the hood release lever.
4) Now the panel is ready to be removed. It is held in by four pressure clips. Simply pulling on this trim piece should release the clips, and the whole thing should pull away. NOTE: The parking break release will still be attached, so pull away carefully and not too far.
5) The TCM is now visible (circled in red). It is connected via two harnesses (in green) that you must unclip and pull toward the seat.
6) If you're upgrading with a second TCM, by far the easiest thing to do is just slide that new TCM in, just to the right of the original TCM. Connect the wires and the fit should be just right to leave it there and button up.
If you need to replace your TCM, I've heard its a real PITA as the mounting screws are located in areas not easily reached. I haven't done this so I can't help here. Anyone who has please feel free to update here.
