Thanks for the response...again sleeper.

Now i have another question. Suppose the relay is good (only $17 so i ordered one anyhow), and the fuel pump is bad, how much of a challange is it to drop the tank and replace the pump? Is it possible to do the above with hand tools and regular floor jacks?

Thanks again all.

Put jack under the tank, undo straps holding it up, undo fuel lines, drop tank, replace pump, add new gaskets, and reconnect everything

Hey guys,

So i pulled the codes. It is code 543 - Fuel Pump Secondry Circuit Open.

So, bad relay? My scan tool did not report back that any of the relays are not working, and the car still doesnt start. Still no sound from the fuel pump either.
The new relay will be here tomorrow though. I looked in the engine bay to locate it but no luck. Its on the passenger side fender area right?

Ideas?

Thanks again all for your help.

What year is your car? I know the 87-90 had it under the drivers seat and the 93 had it in the engine compartment

I think i found it. It looks like its on the passenger of the engine bay.
Hopefully this new relay will fix my issue. Ill let you guys know this weekend when i install it.

Hey guys,

So another question, which relay is the relay for the fuel pump? I see 4 relays by the passenger side fenderand none of them are labeled. My Haynes manual doesnt state which relay is which either. My new relay arrived today and will be installed once i figure out which relay is which.

Sorry for the continuous questions.

Hi,

It would be a 1993 2.3 LX Convertible.

Another update -

Well, this search for the relay is becoming really confusing. I looked on the passenger fender to find what looks to be a CCRM. I have read online though that the fuel pump relay is not apart of that CCRM and that its by the MAF sensor or in the passenger side kick panel by the ECC.
When i look for the fuel pump relay online, all the Ford parts sites come up with the same 2" sqaure relay.

Before i start to tear the interior out, or pull my air box and all,has anyone changed there fuel pump relay on a 2.3 DIS engine or is it the CCRM after all?

Im guessing i should try calling the dealership too.

Thanks

The fuel pump relay, fan control, and ignition control is in the same unit
