My name is Francis, From Pretoria, South Africa.
I would like to ask some few questions please.... I have a 2007 Ford Focus ST.2.5, 6 speed Manuel. I bought the car from an Insurance salvage ..... After installing the Radiator which was out. i tried to start the car, it refuses to start, it just sounds like is about to start, then is not starting. I open the bonnet and check if the fuel will spins out as i would be trying to start it... Nothing came out. when i on turn the key no sound of the fuel pump then i went to the Real Right seat. and open it, I saw that the cable going inside the fuel tank which is connected to the fuel pump has a sockets which is not plug and it nothing was there. it looks like the fuel pump driver module was there and they stole it. i can see the other sockets half as they just pull out the module along with the cable. I have gone to Ford with my VIN for them to order the parts for me, they all seems not to know what i m looking for.... i have other Ford Focus ST of 2008 2009 2010 2011, there was nothing on that back seat... its just cables going inside the tank and out... Please i need help as i m already frustrated... Does any one have an Ideal of what i m talking about?

Hi, the Fuel Pump Driver Module communicates diagnostic information to the powertrain control module (PCM) through the Fuel Pump Monitor (FPM) circuit. This information is sent by the FPDM as a duty cycle signal which in turns controls the fuel pump.

Where's the fuel pump relay on a 2004 linncoln town car

Fuel Pump Driver Module
Note: For the Thunderbird and LS6/LS8, the FPDM functions are incorporated in the Rear Electronic Module (REM). Fuel pump operation is the same as applications using the stand-alone FPDM. The REM will, however, communicate diagnostic information through the BUS +/- circuits (SCP) instead of using a fuel pump monitor (FPM) circuit.
The fuel pump driver module (FPDM) receives a duty cycle signal from the PCM and controls the fuel pump operation in relation to this duty cycle. This results in variable speed fuel pump operation. The FPDM sends diagnostic information to the PCM on the fuel pump monitor circuit. For additional information, refer to PCM Outputs, Fuel Pump and PCM Inputs, Fuel Pump Monitor in this section.

02 ford focus flooding so no start. I pull fuse an it will eventually start. But runs outta gas. Driver fuel module. Under seat?

Driver fuel module ???? Under the back seat ? The part your calling a driver fuel module is the fuel pump driver module ! What fuse do you pull ? If you would like help you need to go into more details . Your vehicle has electronic returnless fuel system (computer controlled ) Having the vehicle checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes could shed some light on to the problem . There is a fuel pressure sensor on the fuel injector fuel rail ,this is a input to the PCM engine computer .The PCM talks to the FPDM -fuel pump driver module to speed up or slow down the fuel pump .

2006 Ford Expedition blowing Fuel Pump Relay fuse

Try resetting fuel pump. I do believe the reset button is on the forward passengers side of vehicle. The button is behind the plastic shield. Reset once or twice. This hopefully will fix your problem. Look in your manual for exact placement of fuel pump reset button

New fuel pump and secondary fuel mod and still won't staart ( no fuel )

Not sure what secondary fuel mod you are posting about, can you explain what this is ?
Have you checked the fuel inertia switch in the passenger side kick panel ?
Is this a 2004 New Body style or 2004 Heritage / Lightning ?
If it is a New body style, have you checked / replaced the fuel pump driver module ? This is on the cross member by the spare tire, and some times they get corroded and crack.

The fuel pump is powered from the Fuel pump relay ( non serviceable in the Cab fuse panel ) to the fuel inertia switch to the fuel pump driver module. The PCM is also connected to the fuel pump driver module
The fuel pump relay normally open contact is powered by Fuse #34 ( this fuse also feeds the PCM ). The fuel pump relay coil is powered by the PCM power relay.
If you are testing and the truck has not started, the PCM will shut off the Fuel pump after 5 seconds ( 8 ? ) of not having started. The only way to clear this is to have the truck start, or disconnect the battery.
Have you tested the fuel pressure on the fuel rail ?
