bad fuel pump replace it

Ok there could be several reasons for this . If you are running your AC it could be condensation . Or you could have a leaky radiator or Radiator hose or your water pump could be bad . There are all kinds of places it could be leaking from .

Well if you reached 100,000 miles or more it can be a lot of things. Best bet is to take it to a mechinic who specializes in Fords and let him run a scan and see what it is. My guess would be the ECM/PCM they have a high failure rate at that mile stone...

Changed battery but radio never came back on

The Factory Code came with the owners manual & in the keyless entry on the door,then you can change it If you don't have that, then your going to pay a dealer to resolve the issue, if you don't know what is in there now, so you can change it,again the instructions are in the manual

Seems fine ! Only some type of testing will lead to a statement of fact, that something is fine Best to work off a factory wiring diagrams to pick your test points

Sounds like you need new engine mounts

This is not a good thing. Ford uses a computer called the GEM and that means General Electronics Module. It controls:

• Wipers
• AutoLamps
• Rear Defrost
• Interior Lamps(dome)
• High Beam Indicator only (cluster)
• Low Coolant indicator
• Key-in Buzzer
• Seatbelt indicator only (Cluster)
• Trunk Pop Relay
• Power Locks
• Door Ajar Sensors
• Door Keyless entry pad
• Remote Keyless Entry
• One Touch Down (power window)
• Air Bag Tone
• Anti Theft (perimeter Alarm) (SEL, or SE(s) with mods)
• Lift gate ajar (wagon)
• Liftgate Pop
• Accessory Delay signal (accessory that work after engine off, prior to door ajar)
• Battery Saver Relay signal (accessory that work after engine off, 15 mins) Map lights, vanity mirrors

They are located behind the radio in the dash and they are $$$ about 600 USD.

If the Brake pedal switch is the sensor you are referring to, then my solution is redundant. If not, then it is probably your problem. Check your brakelights by pressing the brakes. The signal is needed to allow the engine to crank. This is a safety type lockout. The idea is to prevent runaway starts. They want to insure that your foot is on the brake before you try starting the engine or putting the vehicle in gear. This part is often hit by a Drivers feet and broken or shifting out of position.
