This is not going to be the most helpful, because I am not exactly sure, but there has to be. If you figure how inconvienent it is to get to the thing, you would assume that Ford would ensure that you wouldn't need to for something like a short. Why do you ask?

also check your inertia switch.. if somebody walked by your car and maybe bumped it in the right spot in the back then it might have popped... if not that.. then most likely your fuel pump... check the fuse box under the hood for a fuse for the fuel pump.. and.. if it is blown there is most likely a reson why you blew the fuse so you will have to find that out too.
