Fuel pump switch - Ford Ranger Forum

beav · 10-17-2010, 12:16 PM

I am going to change my fuel filter, but I don't know which switch is
the fuel pump switch, (inertia switch). I pulled the molding from the
passenger side kick panel, under the glove box. There is 5 sets of wiring
harness'. I don't see a reset switch on any of them, so I don't know which one it is. I need to release the pressure in my gas line. Can someone help?

this is also giving me a head ache. looks like im just gonna be asking help to my independent mechanic. i dont really wanna mess up with the wiring even though there are some guides in here i dont wanna risk doing it.

easier way is to just pull the fuel pump fuse.

I've never had to release pressure when I change the gas filter.
I pull the line out slowly and just let it drip. never have I had a problem.
