It is above the DLC port.
You need to take the panel off and it is pinned to the inside of the dash.

i think i know exactly why i cant find the star connector...i may have removed it doing the !wire mod since i removed my airbag crap and wiring. i noticed i had the green wire leading to no where after the connector frm the PCM on the passenger side of the car. can i splice the green wire to the purple wire going to the diagnostic port?

also, what does the grey wire to the instrument cluster control/do?
