Where is the TCM located on a buick enclave '17 front wheel drive

[@LYONHARTPRODUCTION]

Can the TCM be remotely hacked by someone who knows my VIN? I know from On Star agent that they have a feature to bring a stolen car to complete stop.

I have a 2012 I’m not having those issues. But I’m getting a drained battery. Fuse 14 TCM-BATT has voltage even with key off. I think that is causing my battery to drain. Any ideas?
