it comes out toward the steering wheel. I don't remember exactly what I had to do to get mine out because its been a couple of years but I do remember it was kind of a pain. It seams like you may have to go up under the dash and take some screws out. once you get it loose it is a tight fit to get it out. I would double check the wire going to the tank first I had a bad conection or a bad ground on mine when it quit working. I would hate to see you go through taking the dash apart if thats not the problem. I will check my manual and if there is any info in there I will post it.
