I had more luck finding them in the Luma than in the Monte Carlo.
You can find these in:
1997-2001 Lumina
1997-2001 Monte Carlo
The location is under the cloth of the hat rack on the passenger side. So yes you will need to pull up the hat rack cover to see if it is there. There will also be some insulation under the cloth so it too will need to be pulled. It is very easy on the Luminas. NOT ALL will have it. It will look like this:
I personally mounted mine behind the glove box as I do not have A/C so I had plenty of room. It is very simple to connect, just follow the directions from the link above.
Quick wiring:
USED:
Light Green Wire: Constant 12 volt supply
Orange Wire: Constant 12 volt supply
Black Wire: ground
Grey Wire: splice into the trunk release actuator(if applicable).
Tan Wire: left door lock actuator wire near door lock relay(see link for special connection)
White Wire: splice into the UNLOCK black wire at the door lock relay
Light blue wire: splice into the LOCK light blue wire at the door lock relay
***1st Black wire with a white tracer: This one is NOT on the end of the connector. It is located on one of the inside pins. It is used to program your system.
NOT USED:
***2nd Black Wire, White tracer: Ignore this wire. This one IS Located on the end of the connector. The factory system uses this to operate the power trunk from the interior button. Ours will still work regardless.
Dark Blue wire: Ignore. All this wire does is turn on the dome lamp for a period of time when you press the unlock button.
Pink wire: Ignore this wire. This is an ignition wire I think the factory uses to disable RKE while the ignition is on and shut off the dome lamp.
