Dropping fuel tank at home/ Fuel Pump Diag

[Jeff J]

03 Ford E250

I’m not getting any fuel to the fuel rail. I couldn’t hear the fuel pump in the tank, so I checked the fuse and fuel relay. I then checked the inertia switch. I didn’t ohm it out (I didn’t have my meter with me). I just checked to see if it was tripped and tried resetting it. I don’t think there is a Fuel Pump Driver Module in this year vehicle. Is there? That leaves the fuel pump. By looking at the wiring diagram, I can test for power going into the inertia switch. I can then check for continuity at the inertia switch. There still could be a mechanical failure, however. Is there a way to ohm out the fuel pump or test it without dropping the tank.

The van has a midship tank. I seem to have enough room to crawl under the van without jacking it up. I can’t jack up all four sides of the vehicle. If I do not have enough clearance, I was planning on just jacking up the rear and sliding the tank out. Do you think I will have an issue removing the tank?

In fact there is.

Good luck and keep us posted.
