ECU box locations

[Bruce Bowling]

Here's a question I have been meaning to ask:

Where do auto manufacturers put the ECU boxes? Many times,
I am asked to find the ECU, and I often fail to locate them,
which makes me look like sort of an idiot. I do not know all
of the different hiding places, nor do I like tearing apart
the dash to later discover that the box is in the trunk.
I always start by tearing out the kick panel by the passenger's
compartment and start from there. Do auto manufacturers
have a tendency to put them in the same place between models?

I know that Nissan likes putting them under the passenger's seat.

I think that this is useful FYI for anyone on this list.
