1997 Ford Crown Victoria fuel pump

prob. a fuse or something. check fuse and fuel pump relay. if OK may need to test pump with 12v direct power.

Could be with that mileage. Start by checking the inertia switch if okay check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay both okay, power the fuel pump direct from the battery if it doesn't come on and ground is good-it went south.

what is the inertia switch? and where is the fuse i found the pump relay

check fuse labeled FUEL PUMP (20 amp) in the engine compartment fuse box. the inertia switch is a safety fuel cut off switch and is located in the trunk, on the left support.

ok i checked the fuse its good and i pecked on the relay but how can i strait wire the fuel pump?is it not in the tank.

yes have to remove it..you can bench test it. It's not good to run them for more than a second or 2 with no gas because they are actually gas cooled and lubricated. But you can touch power to them briefly to make sure they at least turn.

Sometimes you can resurrect a 'stuck' pump just by whacking fuel tank with a piece of wood (don't hit it hard enough to dent it!!).

could i tap in to the wire at the relay and jump it from the battery

yep that will work if you want to splice into the wiring

there are 3 relays and a diode so theirs several wires do u have any idea what color wire i need to splice to test it

red wire should be

thanks guys i really appreciate all the help
