Since this trips to prevent fuel from pumping in a collision, it is made to be manually reset. The device on a son's Ford used to trip occasionally on our rough easement. On his car it was located behind a panel in the trunk.

How to reset fuel pump

There should be a fuel inertia switch that you press once to reset it. On my 1987 Ford Mustang GT it was located in the Rear Hatch area by my drivers side taillight. I had to remove the plastic to access it. look there first on most of the ford cars from the 1980's the switch was always in the hatchback area or truck. Some cars had easy access to the switch others where hidden. After you reset switch turn key to the power ON key position not turned over just one turn of your key ahead you should hear the pump prime....now do this 5-6 six more times this will build pressure in the hp fuel line. Turn hear over. Hope this helps you. Here's a few pic's of the switch's for your reference's mine had the white top the red top switch's came out in 89 or 90 model year fords if I remember correctly.

How do i reset my 1999 mustang fuel pump?

Reset your fuel pump? If you mean the inertia switch, all you have to do is push the button on the inertia switch to reset it. It is located in the lower left rear corner of the trunk.

Please note that if your fuel pump is not working, it is NOT the inertia switch unless you have been involved in an accident, or slammed something (like a curb or a HUGE pothole) pretty hard recently. If this is what happened, the engine would have died IMMEDIATELY after such an accident.

I have a 2002 Mustang GT. I t has a 4.6 motor and Automatic ******. Car is mostly stock with aftermarket exhaust, gears and a cold air intake. The car has always been reliable and the other day I was...

I have had to change the inertia switch for poor connections. Ford has updated some of the switches and harness. Quick test is to unplug it and jump the connector to eliminate it. There is a fuel pump relay that acts up as well. Fuse 14 is the pump fuse in the engine comp, the relay is by the coolant bottle, there is also a fuel pump driver module on GT 4.6L located under the trunk. Or maybe the pump. When you want to diagnose it I can help you through chat or phone.

Good Luck
