Disabling THEFT light - where is the PATS module?

I'm trying some new tunes that don't support PATS, so the THEFT light blinks all the time. Apparently, I can unplug the light - either the red or green wire - but I don't know where the PATS module is. Do any of you have a great description of the location, or a pic?

Look down by the accelerator, if you look just to the right of it, you should see a green plug. Unplug the green plug and the light will stop flashing altogether, enjoy!

Yep. I found it after posting my question. Thanks, though, for following up.

Bringing up an ooold thread here, but curious to know if unplugging the pats module here will bypass pats completely? I'm trying to put a php Hydra on my 2000 7.3 Ex and pats is giving me fits! Thanks
