I need to get to the Fuel Pump Relay on a 1998 Ford Escort Wagon. It's in the Power Distribution Box. Where is that? Is it under the Air Filter? And is it true that the relays in that box are all

My fuel pump stopped pumping, so I replaced it with a new one, and the new one wont pump either! It must be the relay, but I can't figure out where that is. I already checked the fuse.

try cleaning the connector that goes to the fuel pump, sometimes they corrode on inside. If that does not fix, test the wires feeding fuel pump with a multi meter until the condition shows itself again, if voltage drops to zero or very low then wiring problem, if voltage is unchanged with problem and fuel pump is not working and connectors are all clean, try replacement of fuel pump.

SOURCE: 1993 ford escort wagon,no electric to injectors

The fuel delivery system uses an electric fuel pump to provide high-pressure fuel to the fuel injectors. The fuel pump is located at the rear of the vehicle, mounted in the fuel tank. It can be accessed by removing the rear seat.

The fuel tubes leading from the fuel tank to the engine are under pressure during vehicle operation. When the engine is turned OFF, the fuel in the fuel tubes remains pressurized for long periods of time to provide quick start-ups. Fuel not used by the fuel injectors during operation is routed back to the fuel tank through the fuel return tube.

The fuel handling components are protected by three fuel filters. A replaceable in-line fuel filter is located inside the engine compartment between the fuel tank and fuel injection supply manifold. A serviceable filter screen is located inside the fuel tank at the fuel pump inlet. A non-serviceable filter screen is incorporated into each fuel injector.


I can get you trouble shooting tips if you want them.

SOURCE: Ford Escort 1998 fuel pump not working.

good old ford lol, try looking at the crank sensor its located at the front of the engine tucked in right hand side of exhaust manifold and gearbox, two pin plug, i have also known these to have no end of faults with the fusebox.
easy to remove, and solder the connections inside they all suffer eventually, if your not to handy with cars i recommend taking to a auto electrician, easy if you know how. Good luck Davelee

SOURCE: 1993 Ford Festiva: No power at fuel pump relay.

there is a reset button under the speaker grill on the rear driver side strut tower. If the car was involved in an accident or there was excessive forward or rearward movement all of a sudden it could trip it and it needs to be reset.

I want to find the location of the fuel pump relay on a se ford escort 1998 wagon.

Fuel pump relays are typically located in the power distribution box under the hood or mounted on the Drivers side fender wall. The Fuel pump relay, AC relay and Starter Relay are all the same type and interchangeable so you can change them out between each other, like move the AC relay to the Fuel pump relay position and see if that resolves the problem.
