where is the battery located in the car.I do not see it.

It's actually located near the bottom of the vehicle on the drivers side.  Below is a link to a picture of where you can find it.

Good luck!

in front of the drivers side tire

in other words, you have to remove the tire, and the inner splash guard to access the battery.
