What are the causes of the fuel pump not engaging? Installed new fuel pump and it is not engaging. What are the areas that need to be checked? Also check tires and reset appears on the led screen of vehicle.

The fuel pump relay is located in the constant control relay module, under the battery rack on the left side of the engine.

My Windstar sat for almost a year with transmission trouble. When we fixed the tanny we couldn't get the motor to run because it keeps blowing the fuel relay fuse. I have checked the filter, sensors, and the wiring harness and can't see a problem other than the pump. I have not dropped the tank to check that.

FUEL PUMP
Removal
Release fuel pressure. See FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE under FUEL SYSTEM. Remove fuel tank. Using fuel tank lock ring wrench, carefully rotate lock ring counterclockwise to release pump. Remove fuel pump from tank.

Installation
Wipe seal area of tank clean. Position new "O" ring seal onto pump, using grease to hold it in position. Position fuel pump in tank so fuel return hose is not kinked. Install lock ring. DO NOT overtighten pump lock ring, as it may leak. Install fuel tank.

The relays on the '97 Fords were in the under hood fuse box. The cover should have the position of the fuel pump relay labeled. They always like to put three or four togeather and they all look the same, so the best place to find out which one is the right one if it isn't on the cover is in your owners manual. Two ways you can test it is if you put your hand on it and have some one turn the key from off to run you should hear and feel the relay click. Another way is to take one of the other matching relays from something else and switch them. If your still not sure one way or the other the relay only costs about $10 and it doesn't hurt to have a spare.

Whats wrong with the fuel system is it- you don't hear the fuel pump come on when key at run position. Could be the inertia switch or the pump itself.

Direct battery power to the pink and black wire at the inertia switch-did the fuel pump come on.
