Where can I access the fuel pump wire to check that it has power? What color am I looking for? 2007 SR5 5.7L double cab w/8 foot bed.

I have no fuel pressure and want to be sure electrical is good before dropping tank. The fuse & relay are good, I just can't find a diagram that shows wiring to the pump...

Go under the truck and pull the connector at the pump, why is this best way, why do it that way?? Well by going to the pump connector you are making sure the fuel pump wiring is good all the way to the pump without any break in the line from the fuel pump relay. Keep in mind the pump is only powered up while the engine is being started and of course running, so it is best that you jump the relay socket so the pump is always powered up. Most relays have a diagram on them showing which terminals are power in and power out.

How do i change the fuel pump on a 2007 F350 super duty 6.0 diesel

siphon gas out drop the tank undo the harness twist the retaining ring pull pump. install in reverse.

probably be easier to just pull the truck bed off. usually requires unbolting 4-8 bolts holding bed on from inside the floor of bed. unhooking wiring harnwess and unhooking gas tank filler neck from hose leading to tank. you will need help of at least 3 others to pull the bed unless you devise a lift or a stand for your bed to sit on. think of it like a semi truck unhooking from a trailer. bed stays put truck moves forward. replace pump and back up under the bed and reattach. good luck

I have a 2003 chevy silverado 5.3L my check engine light is on and Pep Boys did a smoke test on it and they said it was something on top of my fuel tank that was bad. Something about a sensor on the fuel...

you didnt tell what code is assuming evap large leak and that the fuel pump -evap connection is culprit --fuel pump $200+ drop fuel; tank and replace pump 200 is reasonable go get another estimate from someone else and to do yourself buy a repair manual about 25 for chilton / haynes and see if your capable of dropping an approximate 6 foot fuel tank

Fuel Pump

The fuel pump is in the gas tank, the best way to do this is to get some friends and remove the bed from the frame. There is i believe 8 bolts that hold the bed to the frame, and don't forget to remove the hardware to the gas tank filler neck. Once the bed is off the frame, you can get to the fuel tank. Disconnect the wire harness and might as well replace the harness since there only $12.00 last i looked, disconnect the fuel line and return line. Remove the fuel pump retainer ring and lift up on the fuel pump sending unit. To install replace the rubber O ring and oil it before installing the new fuel pump sending unit. Install the fuel sending unit retaining ring, gas lines, new wire harness, and filler tube. Good lime also to check the hose to the EVAP since you can inspect them, look for any dry rot to the vacuum lines and replace if needed. Reinstall the bed and use lock tight to the bed bolts or replace them with stainless bolts. Good luck and hope this helps, oh and you might as well change the fuel filter while your have the bed off. The other way is to drop the gas tank which means draining the tank and raising the truck.

Test Electrical to Fuel Pump: 1991 Ford Ranger Ext Cab

The fuel pump safety switch is located in the cab on the toe board to the right of the transmission hump. Also check the fuel relay, it's under the hood with the other relays by the big fuses. Get a Chilton book.
