Chris, If you have a 5-speed, it is the large plug that is not connected to anything. If you have an automatic, I believe it is the plug with 8 wires coming out, but I can't swear to that since I am on the road and do not have my schematic with me. I will be back home on Sunday and will verify for sure, if you wish.
