Just did this on my 1999 ford explorer xlt 5.0 V8 I also changed the tank took me about 3 hours without having to jack truck up or remove driveshaft but while doing it I saw why removing driveshaft helps especially for the strap but it's not necessary with the right tools thanks for the video used it to double check my work she fired right up after changing and running like a champ!!! Edit- cost me about $400 for new tank fuel pump module gasket and gas mechanic wanted to charge me $2000 lol
Totally enjoyed this video. Very thourough, very detailed, and focused. Made me realize I can do this on my own......but now, I dont want to. Ill hire a machanic!!!
Usually for me, if the filter is easily accessible I'll do the pump, run it a few minutes then change the filter so I can attempt to "filter" anything that may have fallen into the lines when the pump was serviced...probably not necessary but that's what I do.
Hey I’m in Oregon too. I have a 2000 explorer. I checked the fuel pump relay, and the fuse and the inertia switch and all good. But when turning on the key no fuel pump noise. Even if I bypass the relay with a jumper wire the fuel pump won’t engage. What are your thoughts? Bad fuel pump? Is there a way to test it without dropping the tank? Thank you
usually if you bypass the the fuel pump relay and you don't hear it kick on that means it's bad. if you had a lab scope you could verify by putting a Amp probe on the wire and seeing if the was any reading like amperage of it trying to move. but if your in southern oregon rats have been bad lately you could have open wire down by the tank always inspect your harness. thanks for watchin really apreciate it be sure like and subscribe for more content.
Give the key a bump, like one second in start mode and listen with out turning off the ignition, you should hear the pump. If not take off the fuel filler cap and get some one to listen, you should hear the pump
I have a question maybe you can help me out I have a 2006 ford explorer and every time I try to fill up my fuel tank it doesn't fill up all the way and acts like it's full then starts to spew out. Hopefully you can lead me in the right direction keep up the good work👍
these problem in fuel tanks can be caused by many things, such as a bad carbon canister, a pinched line. these type of issues are always hard to figure out.thanks for watchin.
Hi, your work is very neat. I have a 2002 Ford Explorer xlt and its been not running for 3 years. I have a new battery but when I start it up the engine runs but than it dies. I think it’s the fuel pump problem. What’s the cost to replace the fuel pump, labor and parts?
Could also be bad gas in the tank. That would clog up everything. Recommend draining your tank, putting fresh fuel in, replacing your fuel filter, and giving that a try first, before you go with a major expense like replacing the fuel pump.
@@fixergood He said it runs for a moment so not a security issue. Some older GM's may behave that way but w/ Ford spark will be totally disabled. First thing I'd check is the MAF. Just unplug it and see if it behaves differently. Engine won't run well with it unplugged, but aught to run long enough so you can rule it our or not.
It just depends if it has a Pat's system it will either let run fro 3 seconds and disable the the injectors, ir it will disable the starter. Depends on the vehicle and what generation the anti theft is
Im diagnosing a no start, When you turn the key on,should you hear the fuel pump cycling on these models? When i turn the key on,im not hearing the fuel pump at all.
With most rigs you should hear the fuel pump cycle on for a couple seconds. Hope this helps thanks for watchin besure to like and subscribe for more tips and trick
there should be only one fuel pump on this one , on earlier module ford's w I th fuel injection they have a low and a high pressure pump thanks for watchin.
Thanks for watchin think the pump and the stariner is proball y a round 100 to 150 but I'm guessing. Besure to like and subscribe for more tips and tricks

2:55 Don't take out those nuts. Leave this bracket (the one held by 4 bolts) in place. Its the 2 other bolts you need to take out. The ones with rubber grommets.
@@fixergood I used a 12mm regular socket (12 points, not 6 points). It worked well, but the bolts were not very tight. Do you know what's the torque spec when re-installing?
The only thing I don't like is that my wife expects me to do the work now that she sees someone can help me get it fixed but I do like that is willing to get me new tools to fix things so that is a plus and I learn something new hit me up about replacing an ac compressser or a low pressure ac hose assembly very easy just a little time consuming on a 2005 ford expedition
Great video, but I have to say, I have replaced fuel pumps in a mazda, mercedes and bmw, and have never seen such a stupidly incompetent specimen of Engineering with regards to the location and access to a fuel pump. What moron hired the idiot at Ford who through this was a good idea? To have to almost pull apart the whole vehicle just to get access to the fuel pump when it easily could have had an access plate from the top is just ridiculous. I need to replace my 2003 UX Ford Explorer fuel pump and am amazed at the stupidity of the Ford Engineers.
I hate Ford. I hate them. I am in the same predicament, and I wish nothing but ill and misfortune for everyone involved, for the remainder of their days.
Thanks for watchin I'm not sure what it is it's been a little bit , you should be able to find it by googling it or going to a local parts store or dealer.
Great video my 2010 ford explorer shut off while driving randomly can the fuel pump cause that then after ten start and shut off then it start as normal i notice sometimes when try to start the starter would keep going for long time before it stsrt sometime driving around a hill corner i feel like the car loss power then pick up again its very anoying do you think the fuel pump can cause this please give me your honest analis thanks
You should specify what Explorer you're working on. Granted the process is similar but only the Sport Trac has a metal pump assembly, regular Explorer's are plastic and filter is in a different location.
2000-2006? That actually covers three generations. The 2000-2001 model is one generation, the 2002-2005 is the next generation, the 2006-2010 is another generation. So, no this isn't exactly the same thing.
Just try to be more concious and mindful of explaining details as up go and each physical action like i actually pulling the tank down. Mechanics aren't watching your video everyday people who are just capable of learning such a project and willing to take it on. Skipping socket sizes needed for each bolt is one of the most cringe things done when people make car job videos. But thanks.

it's possible when you put the fuel pump in the sending unit could of got stuck in the tank som how or something got unpluged,hope this helps
This was very helpful
What are the extra 2 holes for that have the green gas line and electronic plug?
Thanks for the video!
Terms of items, like fuel tank steel protector. under car Or crash pan? Take your time, it’s pretty darn good presentation.
Thank you! So helpful.
Seems like it would be a good idea to change the fuel filter first before tackling this job. Thoughts?
Usually for me, if the filter is easily accessible I'll do the pump, run it a few minutes then change the filter so I can attempt to "filter" anything that may have fallen into the lines when the pump was serviced...probably not necessary but that's what I do.

How many pins were on this fuel pump?
How do i figure out the number of pins my explorer has on the fuel pump connector?
Thank you!

Tell me how you take the fuel pump out of a 95 Ford explorer
Didn't show details!
I think I'm going to take a saws all and go through the floor behind the seat.
Is spectra not good

Anyone best way to get air out of gasline
Cut a hole through the floor. Leave the tank installed. Replace pump.
I guess the same applies with 2008 Ford explore Iron Man edition 4.0
2000-2006? That actually covers three generations. The 2000-2001 model is one generation, the 2002-2005 is the next generation, the 2006-2010 is another generation. So, no this isn't exactly the same thing.
Mark the driveline location before taking it out
Ya that's a good tip usually look for the witness Mark's on the flange. Thanks for watchin
