If like the 2000. it is in the rear on the left side, there is a door there and the jack is inside.
where is the jack for the changing of tires, located?
in the 1996 it is rear cargo area on the driver side, there is a small hatch in the molded plastic on the sidewall that has a "dial" you turn to bring the panel out, it will be in there. it is a small scissor jack
The top left hand corner is the location of the union jack
The jack is supposed to be under the spare tire in the well in your trunk
jack is under the hood on passenger side
check your answer
Some of the parts are under the back seat passenger side. You have to flip the seat down and retrieve the rest of the jack. When you have all the pieces it will make sense.
It should be in a ziplock type of bag with your jack in the side compartment in the back of the car.
In the trunk to the right there is a hidden compartment with a small picture of a jack on it. You must remove the compartment door to get to the jack.
You will find the jack under the driver side seat. At least that is where it is my 1991 2.8L.
The jack is located under the rear passenger seat. It is in a case that is bolted to the floor
