On my 2001 Cougar V6 (same model), it's on the passenger side front seat foot well, up behind the glove compartment. There is no need to remove the glove compartment. There is a 10mm bolt and bracket holding the bottom edge of ECM/computerzperiodz But the real trick was figuring out how to remove it after that: open the hood, slide the Power Steering fluid reservoir up and out of the way (it comes right out without any fasteners) and you'll see the ECM connector with a 10mm bolt in the middle of it (imagine where the top of the ECM is located). Back this 10mm bolt out and unplug the connector from the ECM, then go back inside the passenger compartment and remove the ECM (it should pull right out, you might have to release a plastic finger on the side).
