A 97 might have two. Looking at the motor, IIRC the one to the left(under the alternator to the left of the thermostat housing) is for the PCM. The one to the right of the thermostat housing under the AC compressor is for the gauge.

ahh i see that makes sense on why i found two locations when i searched for it. ya i kinda thought it would be the one by the ac compressor. it always has to be the hardest one to get to. good thing i didnt unplug the one on the passenger side.
