Your only option would be to wire one in (using the wiring diagram found in a shop manual for your vehicle, or perhaps elsewhere on this site).

Nevermind I found it. It's hiding behind the driver seat on the firewall. there is also another thing with 3 fuses and a red light in it. I'll post a picture later on today, it's pretty slick.

The sticker on it says "Check Engine Light." Just a wild guess, but it may be your check engine light.

lol, duh. but why would someone go through the trouble of putting that there behind the seat when there is the same light on the dash.
