Remove rear seat, then the right side rear trim, (passenger in uk ) the check control box is in the cavity where the window lives when dropped. Unscrew the two cross head screws, and withdraw the unit and its loom.

Passenger side is on the left in the UK, and so is the module!

Behind the boot trim on the LH side. Same on a touring, but the boot trim has a convenient door.
