Where does the computer go on a 1998 Buick Century?

There isn't a single "computer" in a 1998 Buick Century in the same way a modern car might have one central computer. Instead, it has several Electronic Control Modules (ECMs), often called control units or modules. These are the "computers" that manage different aspects of the vehicle. They're distributed around the car, and their exact locations can vary slightly depending on the specific options and trim level. However, some common locations include:

* Under the hood: This is where you'll likely find the main Powertrain Control Module (PCM), often the largest module and the one responsible for engine management. It's usually attached to the firewall or inner fender.

* Under the dashboard: Various modules related to the body electronics (like the Body Control Module or BCM) are typically located behind the dashboard. Accessing them requires some disassembly.

* Other locations: Smaller modules may be found in other places, such as near the various components they control (e.g., near the transmission for a transmission control module).

To find a specific module, you'd need a wiring diagram for your 1998 Buick Century. These can sometimes be found online (though their accuracy can vary), or through a repair manual specifically for that year and model. A repair manual would be the most reliable source.
