It is mounted to the top of the fuel tank. To properly remove the fuel pump you have to drop the tank. You can also remove the fuel pump through the access hole under the back seat. Depending on the style of fuel pump you may need to make the hole bigger by cutting it.

If you do not hear the pump run of course it is bad or the fuse or relay is defective. Even if it is running the pump may be defective and not pumping any fuel. A fuel pressure test will verify the condition of the fuel pump. Make sure you replace the fuel filter.

It may be fuel pump,but likely not.Try finding out if it has a fuel pump resister in the wiring harness. If so you can bypass it to make it run. Hope this works.

Had same problem in my 2000 contour. The problem was with a bad wire on my fuel pump. Every time i turned a sharp corner car would stall. I replaced fuel pump and no probs since.

Check the fuel pump pressure and quantity...the fuel pump may show the pressure is good at idle even if it is bad since it is hard to check the pressure during operation or when putting a load on the engine. It is also a good idea to change the fuel filter at the same time you change the fuel pump.

The fuel pump shut off switch ( inertia switch ) opens the circuit to the electric fuel pump so that no power is going to the fuel pump when the vehicle has received a substantial jolt ( collision or maybe hitting a bad pot hole ) It is a safety device that has to be manually reset if the switch " trips "

In order to change a fuel pressure regulator in a 2000 Ford Contour, start by relieving the pressure from the fuel system. The regulator is part of the fuel pump module. Place the new regulator in position in the engine and tighten any bolts.?æ

When you put the pump in the filler, are you putting it all the way in? If so, try pulling the pump out about halfway and then pump it. It makes a world of difference.
