Also, the reset switch is behind the driver's footwell panel. There is an access hole for it.
Fuse is #17 in the trunk power distribution box, 15amp.

This is not a universal part, and you will need to get the exact part fitment. I think this is the part you need- https://amzn.to/2OLWqXZ This car has two pumps as well, make sure you read through that other thread for more information.

Wow, that's a lot of lettuce. Seems I have seen generics with lifetime warr for <$100, subject to correction. Also looking at this one and thinking it could be modified to fit. Yes, add a fitting for the xfr tube. Mod top, perhaps using old one?
Close side-by-side exam first. Same pressure, etc. 37 yrs in heavy mfg'g - lots of work-arounds. Cheers

Hello,
now the fuel pump of my Tbird has been changed and run. But, unfortunately, the car doesn't want to start. The engine light is now off, but another red light blinks 16 times and stops.
I need your help .

What happened to you, happened to me, but my car ran for about 40 seconds before it quit.
Blew my #17 fuse also. bad fuel pump, you need to replace the right fuel pump, do not
need to fool with the left one, just keep your fuel tank 1/4 tank or more full.

RE: "replace the right fuel pump, do not need to fool with the left one, just keep your fuel tank 1/4 tank or more full."

I usually refill my 04 tank when it is below half. Does that mean that the gas in the driver side tank is never used = very stale?

If it was your anti theft wouldn't your key symbol on the dash be lit or flashing.

Here is a photo of the web site where I ordered my fuel pump many months ago. Got it from partsgeek.com

Hello, the anti-theft light is flashing, and the fault code is number 16. But Ford in France doesn't know what that means.
