It's not near the clutch pedal. It should be on the plastic molding on the left of the steering wheel. Just reach your hand under while sitting in the car, you should be able to feel it. It's like the easiest place to reach.

I had trouble getting the picture to copy over to my reply. You should see which one I was responding to now.
