Description:
The PCM monitors the fuel pump monitor (FPM) circuit from the fuel pump driver module (FPDM). With the key on, the FPDM continuously sends a duty cycle signal to the PCM through the FPM circuit. The test fails if the PCM stops receiving the duty cycle signal.
Possible causes:
Inertia fuel shutoff (IFS) switch needs to be reset
Open FPDM ground circuit
Open circuit to FPDM PWR RLY
Open FPDM PWR circuit
Open or shorted FPM circuit (engine should start)
Damaged IFS switch
Damaged FPDM PWR RLY

How come when i put the cables on my battery my head light flicker is it running power
The problem sounds like a relay. Newer cars have a sensor and relay device that turns the lights on when so much light is not visible. When the sensor senses a lack of light, it triggers the relay, which sends voltage to the lights. This can be disabled. You will need the manual to locate the device. It should be right behind the headlight assembly or under the battery. Each car is different. Contact your auto parts store or manufacturer to determine the location.
Show me the right fuse
Here is the fuse panel digram for the '03 crown vic:
Try Replacing Location 1 (15 amp fuse ) or Location 2 (5 amp fuse).
My check fuel cap light
Ok,you could have a bad fuel cap or o-ring on the cap. could be you just didn't quite get the cap on good enough the last time you got gas so in turn the light comes on. unfortunately these things are so sensitive that the light doesn't go out even though you have tried taking it off and putting it back on. My advise is, check out your local auto parts stores. such as Autozone, or Advance. Most auto parts stores anymore will hook up a small scanner to your car and can tell you what the problem may be. not as good as a dealers repair shop could tell you,but should be able to let you know if it is nothing serious or could be. if it is something serious then you would of course have to see mechanical help. and if its nothing serious, like the only thing showing up is gas cap not on good,they can clear out the code and your light will go off and your good to go.if it turns out that's all it was and the code is cleared, and it keeps coming on, you could have a more serious problem and should have a qualified mechanic check it out. if you don't have an Autozone or Advance near you, just check your local auto parts stores and see if they offer the service of checking your vehicle when lights like this come on. and it should be a FREE service. Autozone and Advance is and most should be. i know this is long, but i hope it helps.
Headlight problem.
My Dad is having the same problem with his 03 Vic. It is the relay on the LCM (Lighting Control Module) heating up. The options are sauldering a new relay on the LCM for a few bucks or pay $400 for a new LCM.
