four cylinder front wheel drive automatic 172,000 miles.

I have the LX model (1.9 liter). I am looking for someone who could tell me where my fuel pump relay is located. It is not behind the dash, nor at either of the fuse boxes. my car is too old to have the relay fuse box. so all of the relays are kind of scattered. Or possibly something else is wrong? we replaced the fuel pump, the inertia is good we think and there is still no pressure into the fuel filter. any help would be appreciated greatly.

Suggested Repair

Look for the fuel pump relay under the left side of the dash on the driver's side, above the brake pedal and beside or attached to the EEC/ECA mounting bracket. Test the relay and its control circuit if there is still no fuel pressure.

Conversation Summary

Owners asked where the fuel pump relay is on late-1980s Ford Escorts, including a 1987 and a 1989 1.9L. Experts consistently placed it under the left/driver side of the dash, above the brake pedal and beside or attached to the EEC/ECA bracket, not in a separate relay fuse box. One owner who still had no fuel pressure after replacing the pump was directed to that location and to relay testing.
