Hello, I happen to own a 01 Ranger 4.0liter, since you have had the relay, fuel pump, and fuses changed, there is an Inertia Switch for the fuel pump in case of an accident. The impact will cause the Inertia Switch to trigger and open the circuit to the fuel pump. It is located on the passenger side, down where the passenger's right foot would be, almost directly in front. It might be behind the carpet a little bit. It has a two-wire plug going into it One wire is Pink with a black stripe and the other is dark green with a yellow stripe. It's hard to miss with the large pink wire. Try unplugging it first and plug it back in. I was having an issue with my truck randomly where it would stall out at idle, And I started to do some testing and happened to put an Amp Clamp around the pink wire of the switch, After disturbing the wire and plug for the switch, (which must have had a pin fitment issue and the connector was a little loose), I never had the issue again. So, check that first, look for any discoloring of the connector or anything like that. I'll find a picture of it for you, but if it's not the Inertia Switch, let us know and we can check some other components.
If the switch is not directly in front of the passenger's right foot, it will be behind the kick panel to the right on the passengers' foot.
I will post a photo shortly.
In the 1st diagram, green is the passenger door frame opening, the blue is the passenger side floor. In yellow is the Inertia Switch.
With the key Off, unplug the switch, check it for any overheating signs (discoloring), if it's okay, plug it back in, and see if it helps. For your mechanic, the switch is in series with the fuel pump, so it's a location that is easy to check for power to the fuel pump.
The best thing he can do is put an amp clamp around either wire at the switch during the No Start condition and see if it's actually the Fuel pump that's not working. These trucks are very easy to check fuel pressure on, there is a test port on the fuel rail to check fuel pressure.
