All you need to do is follow the map markers during the quest "All of My Friends Have Off Switches."
The exact locations for each item, in the order that I found them, are as follows:
1) Sink Central Intelligence Unit: The Sink, given automatically at start of "All My Friends Have Off Switches" quest)
2) Sink: Magnetohydraulics Complex inside room to the left when you first enter on desk
3) Biological Research Station: X-22 Botanical Garden, by hot plate and duffel bag by entryway
4) Light Switch 01: X-2 Transmitter Antenna Array, to the left on a desk after entering, ground floor
5) Toaster: The Cuckoo's Nest, by a shrine on the right hand side of the cave with skulls and candles [Beware: I ended getting a corrupted autosave here that froze my console. It worked fine when I tried a second time. Just save to be safe!]
6) Auto Doc: Y-17 Medical Facility, second floor on the left after entering on top of a desk
7) Jukebox: Higgs Village, House 108, second floor in the first room
8) Book Chute: Higgs Village, House 101, second floor in the middle room on desk
9) Light Switch 02: Big MT North Tunnel, first room on the right
10) Muggy: In the bed of a truck just outside Securitron De-Construction Plant
You must then install all of the parts into their corresponding appliances. The Toaster is good for a laugh. All of these will be indicated by map markers. As long as the quest is active these are impossible to miss.
***************************
Not relevant to achievement: You can obtain all upgrades for the appliances in The Sink by completing the quests Influencing People and Field Research. The first will unlock after you earn the achievement, and the second will unlock after Influencing People is complete. Some of the auto doc implants are pretty nice, so it's worth taking the time to complete these quests.

Can I just say that even though you don't have to get their respective upgrades for this achievement, it is still definitely worth it if you are playing this game for the joy of it rather than just the achievements. There is some...pretty unique stuff involved with them.

When you install the upgrades, the final one isn't an electronic piece of equipment, it's the sink across the doorway from the biological research station.

This is the only achievement in DLC that is not required to complete it. Also note that you can return and complete this after the completion of the main story line.
The quest related to this achievement is All My Friends Have Off Switches. Here is a quick run through:
- Start out by installing the Sink Central Intelligence Unit which is given to you in the conversation at the start of the DLC with the Think Tank. Please note that in order to install any other chips you need to install this one first.
- Sink Project - Sink is located in the caverns of the magnetohydraulics complex.
- Sink Project - Auto-Doc is located in the complex Y-17 medical facility.
- Sink Project - Biological is located in the Research Station in the X-22 botanical garden.
- Sink Project - Jukebox is located in the House #108 of Higgs Village.
- Sink Project - Book Chute is located in the House #101 of Higgs Village.
- Sink Project - Light Switch 01 is located in the X-2 transmitter antenna array.
- Sink Project - Light Switch 02 is found hidden away inside the Big MT north tunnel.
- Sink Project - Muggy is found stashed on a truck just outside the Securitron de-construction plant.

- Return to the Sink and install your mods. The achievement is yours along with a much better Sink!

This trophy will unlock upon completion of the quest, All of My Friends Have Off Switches. This quest can be thought of as a “collectible” quest. It is purely dependent on locating each of the personality chips and installing them in the Think Tank. These chips will look like holotapes and they will found in several locations around the Big MT. Your quest journal will be divided into several steps towards a set order to retrieve these holotapes. Starting with the Sink, Auto-Doc and the Biological Research Station. Followed by the Light Switches and Jukebox. Then finally the Toaster, Muggy and Book Chute. You can pick them all up anytime regardless of how your quest journal lists them. Refer to the list below for the locations of where you can find all the holotapes:
-
Sink Module Personality Chip
- You’ll get this upon your first conversation in the Think Tank. This must be installed first before you are able to install the rest of the personality chips.
-
Sink Project: Sink
- Magnetohydraulics Compound - In a room north of the map
-
Sink Project: Auto-Doc
- Y-17 Medical Facility - On a back desk in front of a broken console on the ground floor
-

- X-22 Botanical Garden - Near the ground stairwell on a plank near a hotplate
-
Sink Project: Jukebox

You can also refer to the video for each holotape location:
Once you have collected each of the chips, return to the Think Tank to install them to complete this quest. Refer to my video for each of the Sink Project personalities you will have to activate to unlock this trophy after installing the initial Sink Module Personality Chip:

To get this achievement, complete the quest "All My Friends Have Off Switches ".
It makes no sense to describe the journey to each marker. The locations are described in order of optimal movement (in terms of saving time) from one to another. If you don’t want to run all over the map, then use fast travel to already open locations, from which it will be faster to get to the marker. You can use "The Think Tank" as a central starting point (because it's in the center of the map). So, first we go to:
1) “Y-17 medical facilit” y - the holodisk will be on the table. First floor, right side of the room from the entrance. Follow the marker.
2) “Magnetohydraulics Complex” - we go down the stairs, turn left and enter the only room. You will find the holodisk next to the broken computer.
3) “X-22 Botanical Garden” - having overcome the crowd of regular adversaries and robots, we go up the stairs. The holodisk lies next to the stove (it's a white and yellow cylinder - you'll notice it right away).
4) “Big MT north tunnel” l – after entering the tunnel, deal with the turret. To the right of the entrance there will be a door to a room where you will find another holodisk on a shelf.
5) “Higgs Village” - jump over the fence and enter house number 108. The holodisk will be waiting for you on the table in the room on the second floor.
In the same location in house 101 there will be another holodisk, but when you come here for the first time, there will be no marker pointing to it. You can try to take it right away.
7) “X-2 transmitter antenna array” – deal with the Protectrons. The holodisk is on the table next to the coffee maker (left side of the room).
8) “The Cuckoo's Nest” - after entering, turn right and you will see two dilapidated metal shelves leaning against the wall of the cave. Approach them and you will see a holodisk.
If you didn't pick up the holodisk in house 101 in the Village, you'll have to go back now, as the marker will update. Upon entering the house, go up to the 2nd floor and enter the room with a “living” picture, which depicts either an eye or some other organ. The holodisk will be on the table.
9) “Securitron de-construction plant” – you will find the holodisk in the back of the truck (the truck next to the entrance) in a pile of coffee cups.
After all the holodisks have been collected, we go or teleport to “The Sink Balcony” and enter the room with a round “table” that is already familiar to us. Here you will need to “activate” all your comrades one by one (open the local map). Just approach them and press the action button. By “activating” everyone, we will finally get this achievement.
