Hello fellow Explorer enthusiaststs!
So my boy has custody of the Explorer now.
He was out earlier in the year and she died. I went there and it seemed as if the fuel pump wasn’t powering, but it would crank, with spark.
We had to get it towed home and then it immediately started, then didn’t anymore.
We read on the internet that the check engine light should come on when you turn ignition on, and it does not do that.
We thought maybe it was something to do with the ignition switch, and replaced that, then cleaned up and pretty well redid all the wiring connections to battery, in case there was some sort of grounding issue somewhere..
I’m not sure if this check engine light not coming on with ignition is an indicator of some other problem, but I did confirm today the fuel pump does not seem to power up when ignition is on?
The next step will likely be to replace the fuel pump, assuming it is just a fuel pump problem, but if anyone has any troubleshooting ideas I am missing here, I’d sure appreciate it. It’s a bit confusing, lol.
Want to get out on the trails with my boy
