Welcome to 2CarPros.

Pump located under vehicle near right rear tire. I attached a view of the pump to help you identify it.

Here are the directions for replacement. The attached picture correlates with the directions.

Before you just replace the pump, make sure there is power to it. If you look at pic 3, it shows the pump relay. You should check that as well.
