Power to the fuel pump

ok well i'm having some trouble, as some of you might remember my mustang just wouldn't start one day after i parked it. I have checked the fuel pump switch in the hatch and well there is no power even going to the switch anyways, also i have checked the fuses under the dash. Are there any relays or fuses that i have missed or maybe some connection.

Try checking for voltage at the fuse block.Probe the terminals of the fuse block at the fuel pump fuse with the ignition switch on.This will at least give you a better idea of where to look.

Are you getting any spark to the plugs? Is there fuel to the injectors/fuel rail? It could be a bad ignition coil, crankshaft sensor, etc. Theres alot of things it can be. What year is your car? That would be more helpful.

ok well i know i'm getting spark, i don't know about the fule to the injectors but that wouldn't be the problem right now because i'm getting power to the fuel pump. LOL. also i am wondering if someone could tell me where the relays are, i think they are near the fuses but i'm kind of a big person and its hard to get under there to see anything. So maybe it could be the relay.

The fuse to the fuel pump would be under the hood in the power distribution box. If you have power to the pump you dont need to check this. Also, like asked B4, what year is your car??? And lastly, as you stated, you have power to the fuel pump but that doesnt mean the pump is working, sending fuel to the injectors.

RE: Power to the fuel pump

lol no you didnt read my post right, i DO NOT have power to the switch in the hatch which is what then leads to the fuel pump so that means i have no power going to the fuel pump, and in my sign its a 1990. I will check in the box under my hood to see if anything is wrong with the relay.
