PATS module location?

[Tabres]

Does anyone know for certain where the PATS module is located?

I've read that it is under the dash, and also that it is in the trunk? Or are there two modules?

Here is the whole setup:

The black box is located above your left knee behind the fuse box.

I thought the big black box was behind the trunk liner on the left side of the trunk. I cable tied my BAP to it.

That is what is completely confusing me. I can find people making claims for both locations, and find Ford parts diagrams to support both claims. And I can't go out and look on my car itself since I'm gone from home until Friday.


Really frustrated because I'm lined up to have to car tuned in 3 weeks and it won't start. I know it's one of these two items at fault.

Haha, this is the beauty of the 94-98 and 99-04's.

On the 99-04, the black box is definitely under the dash as I mentioned and the 99+ dash actually has built in clips for it to clip into (dealt with this personally with my swap), but if it's in the trunk on the 94-98's then voila' for the OP.

Just to follow up, I haven't looked in my own vehicle yet, but according to the nice parts gentlemen at Tousley Ford, on a 96 at least, it's in the trunk. This is at least consistent with what Mark is reporting from his experience!

Drivers side trunk well.

According to the Ford Shop Manual for the 1998 Cobra it is on the drivers side inside the car, it doesn't say exactly where of course.
