Hope someone with an 05 will respond, I installed one on my 06, and it was pretty straight forward. It is on the drivers side of the trans., up above another connector, [fluid level or temp sender ?] I just re-read your post. It's not on the bell housing, it is on the trans., back near the differential. Have another look, you'll find it.

The wire is marked to tell you how to do it when you look under the car.

The shop manuals will let you navigate much better when working on your car. Best of luck and enjoy the process.
