Fuel line removal from pump on 2000 mercury cougar

SOURCE: 2000 mercury cougar wont start

what is anti-theft light doing? It should come on solid for about 2 sec after you turn the key on then turn off. If it is flashing after this then it is not seeing the computer chip in the key and you have a PATS problem.

The switch is located in the drivers side panel in the foot well, there is a hole in the panel for access to the reset button, this panel is commonly called the kick panel, it is to the left of your foot in the drivers foot well once again..

Check the fuel pump fuse first, if its good then check the fuel pump relay. Try swapping it with another like it in the area, If its also good, check for power at the fuel pump harness with the switch on. If power is present, the pump is most likely bad.

First off I am sorry you have a cougar also.... I am on my third fuel pump ... stupid car anyways. If you didn't do it yet one make sure you get one from the dealer... Hopefully you will have better luck than me i paid 400 last year and tried to get one on warrenty then I had to wait since may to august to get it good news for you Ford should have it off back order. It is in the fuel pump you can 1. drop the tank (huge pain) or 2. it is WAY easier to take out your back seat ther eis a small hole to see the pump covered by a black plastic thing. You can then make the hole bigger and pull the pump out that way.

the guage can be fixed by changing the fuel pump. actually if the pump is installed incorrectly then the guage will eventually go out. just had the same issue and i changed my pump and it worked.
