fuel pump relay fuse

Under the Hood

One of the small, black relays is likely to control the fuel pump. Near the relay there is also typically a red, 10-amp fuse labeled “FUEL,” “F/P” or “FUEL PUMP.” If not, check under the dashboard.

How do I know if my fuel pump fuse is blown?

How to tell if fuel pump relay is bad (6 Signs)
Check Engine Light (CEL) Illuminated. High Mileage. Long Starting Time. Engine Performance Issues – Stalling, Idling, Acceleration, Not Starting. Car dies while driving. Silent Fuel Pump Noise. Park the car in safe and level ground.

Where is the fuel pump relay fuse located?

In most cases, the fuse box under the hood will contain both the fuel pump fuse and relay. Common locations for fuse boxes include: Under hood. Side of dashboard.

Will the fuel pump run without a relay?

Most fuel pumps, will produce a low volume hum, when turned on. So, if the relay fails, it will cut power to the fuel pump, which will render it inoperable.

Where is the fuel pump reset switch located?

Once the vehicle determines the systems are safe, then the vehicle allows you to restart. The fuel pump shut-off switch is located behind an access panel on the right side of the luggage compartment. The fuel pump shut-off switch has a red reset button on top of it.

What would cause a fuel pump not to get power?

In most of the cases, it is either a bad fuel pump relay or blown up fuel pump fuse which leads to fuel pump not getting power issue. But in some cases damaged fuel pump wiring, connections or a bad ground path in circuit are also common causes for no power to fuel pump.

What happens when fuel relay goes bad?

Where is the fuel pump control module?

The module is typically installed on or very close to the fuel pump, and in the early years of the component’s use, this practice led to a design fault. Manufacturers, including Ford, initially placed the module inside the vehicle immediately above the fuel pump, typically just beneath the floor pan.
