    . Reset the Inertia Switch, which may be located behind a panel on the right side of the trunk. It cuts off power to the fuel pump, in case the car is hit.

    . Test all underhood and underdash fuses with a test light or multimeter:

    . Consult the Owner's Manual for the location of the fuel pump relay. Carefully, remove relay and clean 5-pin connector of corrosion.

    . Check the ignition switch for wear, pitting, or melting.

Ford Escort Fuel Pump [ 2 Answers ]

I have recently replaced the fuel pump in a 1989 escort. Everything works when it is sitting on the ground. When I put it into place it doesn't work. Any ideas. My nephew bought the car to drive back and forth to school in so he doesn't have a lot of money for a mechanic to fix it.
