    open hood.
    remove the rubber from the cowel.
    You should remove the passenger wiper.
    Lift plastic and ecu is there.
    There are 2 rectangular connectors there is a slide piece that releases the conn from the ecu.

    No need to remove the wiper arm, the ECU will slide right out of it's holder. You can ever get it out without removing the raintray (Although your hands take a bit of a beating)
