Default RE: Fuel Pump

check the fuel pump relay under the drivers seat, it should click when you turn the ignition to the ON position if it clicks grab a circuit test and check the connection under the car above the fuel tank

also check the inertia switch located in the trunk/cargo area

Not sure why but it seems to happen when it's cold outside.

86 5.0L......You are the man.

I went out and checked the inertia switch and pushed on the white button and the fuel pump came right on.


Thanks for your help.
