Fuel pump not powering up

I don't believe that this is the problem. I have checked it physically and don't see any visable damage. I don't have any info on testing this module. I believe that the fuel pump relay is not energizing and I can't pinpoint why. I know that the relay is energized by the PCM power relay. What tells the PCM power relay to energize?

I have a 1996 ford escort, that recently broke down on me. I was driving and the positive terminal fell off my battery causing it to shake and sputter then stall and not restart. I discovered it was not getting any fuel to it when I spray starting fluid in it it starts. So here's what all I have done since. I replaced the fuel pump but it doesn't seem to be getting power to it because it still wont start. I wired the old one to my battery directly and the old pump came on, so I am guessing that something is disrupting the power to my pump, so I was wondering if I could just wire my new pump to a switch and turn it on and off manually when ever I drove it? Or what else could be causing it to not get power, I checked the fuses and the fuel reset and everything seems okay, I tested the relays under the driverside dash and they seem ok, I am confused and what else to do?

I have checked the fuel reset switch and it is in the down position, I have not used a fuel pressure gauge because I am not getting any fuel, because I am not getting power to the pump. What would be causing me to not get power, and can I just run a new wire with a toggle switch in line from the pump directlly o the battery?

Hi.

Just recently (two days ago) I experienced the same issue. Started my vehicle. Made it out the driveway and it cut off. Same scenario as Richardgriffin01.
Replaced pump. Old pump was still functional, turns out no power to fuel pump.
Checked IFS. Reset it and reset it again. All fuses are intact. Looked aimlessly for the location of the actual fuel pump relay. On this specific model, it's 'supposed' to be located in the center console underneath the ashtray, but I honestly don't see it.
Can anyone possibly direct me there? Where is it exactly?

Thanks

The hose in the back by the tank was leaking we replaced it and it started for a minute than would not start againg someone said I problly ruined the fuel pump where is the pump and relay how do I check them

This 96 Ford Escort, 1.9 engine, with 139023 miles, was running fine, never had any problems. All of the sudden will not start. Somebody told me to check the FUEL INJECTION relay. I removed the relay and jumped the 12v side to the other side, and the car started ok. I put a NEW relay, no dice. For good measure, I even replaced the FUEL PUMP relay, still nada.
As long as I keep the jumper across the fuel injection relay the car starts ok. Only thing is that it will not turn OFF. I have checked the rollover safety switch and all fuses.
Thanks for any help.

Have you made sure that the rollover safety interlock is working proprerly. This is usually behind a panel inside the right rear fenderwell. I've had to push the red reset button a few times on mine already.

Yes, I have checked the rollover safety interlock, and all the fuses.

We started out with a no fuel situation. We replaced the fuel pump and fuel pump relay to find out that wasn't the problem. After actually testing the fuel pump relay and finding out that EEC powers the fuel pump relay, We tested for voltage for the EEC relay and no voltage from the ignition was present. The engine cranks but will not start. I've checked the fuses and they seem good. I spoke with a friend about it and he thinks it could be a solenoid fuse link but I can't find one.

ANY IDEAS
