SECU is just to the right of the steering column.

It makes clicking sounds when you operate the power doorlocks or trunk release.

thanks man, that deff helps.  now 1 more question.. how do i go about counting pins?

I think it's safe to say that colors aren't repeated on the Maxima SECU much, so the first thing to do is to find the correct color. After that use a DMM to determine if you are right or not. Also, pin locations can start on either end. Because of this once a color is found you usually can start a pin count on multiple ends and rows to determine if you are at the right spot.
