Where is the computer on a 2000 Lincoln LS V8?

The main computer on a 2000 Lincoln LS V8, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), is located under the hood, usually near the firewall on the driver's side. However, its exact location might vary slightly depending on specific options and factory modifications. You'll likely find it attached to the inner fender or secured to a bracket. It's usually a fairly large black box with various connectors. There may also be other smaller control modules located elsewhere in the car.
