Default 94 V6

i have a 1994 v6 mustang that over heated and all the fluid went out of radiator overflow tube and the car lost all power and i can not start the vehicle and the check engine light stays on . the battery is fine. i was wondering if there is a reset switch for fuel pump or an online fuse that tripped that would cause the car not to start.

Reset for the fuel pump is in the trunk along the edge. It's just a push button.

You may have a bigger issue (like a blown headgasket) to deal with after the over heating. The 94 and mid way into 95 have less than ideal headgaskets from Ford and tend to give out on these motors.

If all the coolant came out, I'd check the exhaust. Sounds like the motor is most likely toast from overheating and locked up from hydrolock.

When the head gasket blew on my 2000 that's exactly what happened. The radiator blew and lost all the fluid. It was fortunately under warranty and Ford fixed it putting in a new motor.
