Is it in the fuse box, or is it the fuse that sits off by itself?The fuel pump fuse is in the trunk.
I would try disconnecting/re-connecting the battery and ruling that out.Fuse 17 was blown. Car is running, but gas gauge isn’t working
Here is a photo of the fuel filter in the left front wheel well, just in front of the drivers foot well.I'm sorry to say but the fuel filter on the Retro is up inside the driver's side front wheel well. Access is only by removing the fender liner which is made even easier by removing the wheel/tire. Once the liner is removed the filter is right there in its own little recess in the fender and easily changed.
You are very correct in the statement a little simple maintenance goes a long long way.
As far as fuel pumps, the drivers side fuel pump simply returns fuel back over to the passenger side of the fuel tank.My 2002 TBird wouldn’t start & keep running. It did “clunk” like it was going to fire off but that was it. Didn’t show any error codes. I checked the fuse, diode & relay and all checked good. At 76, I’m too old and dizzy to tear it apart so I had it towed to Raceway Ford, the local dealer.
They diagnosed it as the fuel pump & estimated $1400. It was due to be finished last Friday but they ran into problems with the new factory locking ring not holding the pump assembly in place, and had to order an aftermarket lock ring.
When I asked about replacing both pumps, I was told that there is one dual pump assembly with one pump portion acting as a scavenger pump.
