I work for a ford dealership and even though there is not a Ford T.S.B ( technical service bulletin ) for this issue. I have replaced the Inertia switch ( the reset button) for this issue and repaired the issue. ford has use a inertia switch in there vehicles for about 24 years without much trouble. But they redesigned the switch in about 2003 and we started seeing some failures with the new design switch which ranged from 2003-2006 F150"S and ranger models. I would first remove the switch and inspect the terminals were the wiring connector plugs into it, inspect the connector terminals and the pins in the switch its self for signs of being hot (melted). if you fine signs of being hot you can be sure this is were your problem is. If not its still a good chance this is were your problem is , between myself and the other ford tech"s I work with we"ve probably replace 15 to 20 of these type of inertia switches for tripping the reset switch for no given reason. If you due find the connector at the inertia switch has been hot,you will need to also replace the connector and terminals (at the connector) or you will have repeated failure. hope this helps you out. Thanks for using fixya

Hi, First, I would assume that the new pump was defective. After all about 1100 miles is a bit short of a life expectancy for a fuel pump.
The repair should be covered under Warranty by the Dealer if they did the work. The repair job should have at least a one year warranty on parts and labor. The part, no matter who sold it to the dealer, is covered by the supply house (which should have been the Ford Motor Company) that sold it to them.
If the service manager does not want to cover the repair, Ask to speak to the General Manager. Tell him something to the effect that you always thought a fuel pump should typically last 100,000 miles not 1100 miles which is your average usage. I would respectfully demand that this is taken care of . If he does get nasty to you about this, which he shouldn't do. But if he does you might remind him that you didn't purchase a Ranger from him so that you would have to subscribe to the "Fuel Pump a Month club" This once a month figure is based on the average mileage a person drives every month which is much more than you do.
Now that I have vented to you here is the other scenario. If you installed it yourself. Pull it out and take it back to who you bought it from and ask him to replace it under warranty.
The point I'm making here is that you should not have to put your life or any member of your family's life at risk because of this sort of thing. It isn't your personal job to be quality control test dummy for Ford. They are not paying you for this.
I hope this helps you. Let me know what happens.
Best Regards,
Mark
