Sorta by where your right leg goes as you sit there driving.  The best way to get to it is either kneel on the floor and look up under the dash or lay on your back and look up.  It's sorta tucked up behind the dash plastic.

My thoughts exactly^.
It seems a bit early for the evaporator to go south. How many miles?

Glad to hear someone else is using that - I use mine every day, in and out of the garage (it's on a slope).

Did you change grade or brand of gas? This also causes wierd stuff to go on with the emissions system, rearly but it does happen.

That was the first tank of gas I had put in it so its hard to say. Its still hasn't come back on so is must be one of those pre set deals that automaticly comes on at a certain mileage.
