Great comprehensive tutorial! I was searching videos to check fuel pressure (without Schrader valve) and stumbled on this. I didn't think it was the driver AGAIN, considering it was replaced two years ago. I just bought a new one and plugged it in to see and it worked. I think this time, I will coat the housing and frame with POR-15 and stand it off like the revised models. Again, Awesome video!
Great video!!! I was looking for a video that would show my how to bypass the FPDM and check the fuel pump and luckily found yours. You saved the day! It was the FPDM as you suggested it might be. Sure was nice to hear the fuel pump run! I was dreading that job. I had just filled my tank (36 gal)! Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge!
This video was extremely helpful. Had a bad fpdm. Replaced the fuel pump before I found this video. The car was no start condition. Replaced the fpdm started right up. I had no engine light or anything that would suggest it was a bad fpdm. The vehicle was a 2005 ford escape, 2wd, 3 litre. Hope this saves somebody time and money. If you drive a ford truck start with this before replacing your pump. Good luck and happy fixing
Joe Camel I’m suspecting same with my f150. Cranks, no start and not getting fuel. Have no codes or cel, so thanks for confirming it might not throw a code. This is a very straightforward, helpful video! Don’t know what I’d do without TH-cam help.
@@HowardOchs I unfortunately still replaced the fuel pump before I found this video. However this video is as solid as they come. And if you go step by step you should know 100% if this is your issue. I couldn't have done it without this video. If the underside of your car looks anything like mine did, then this could very well be it. And if you live anywhere near the middle east we have had rain for a week straight and flooding and everything. So if you suspect water could have gotten in the fpdm that should also be a big clue. Hope you get it sorted. Good luck
Thank you for the detailed, technical information. Have any idea what to look for when all that is good, but still no fuel pressure? Fuse good, relays good. But no power getting back to that driver module. The truck will run, and everything working fine one minute. Next minute, it won't have any fuel pressure. Somewhere it is loosing power. Could it be a bad computer???
Considering that Ford has used several color codes for the wiring, but the connector is common to many vehicles, the hand sketch of the connector pinout is worth 20 videos!
I have intermittent low fuel pressure. The fuel pump did die and was replaced with a new assembly (Delphi) and the fuel filter (Motorcraft) was replaced at the same time. Fuel pressure is usually 40 PSI (according to my scan tool) but sometimes it drops below 25 PSI and it even dropped to 0. I have replaced the fuel rail pressure sensor with a Standard part. There have been occasions where the pressure went to 60 PSI. What do you think the problem is? There is a Fuel Pump Driver Module that hasn't been replaced, also. There are no codes right now but when the fuel pump died I did get a P1233. The car drives OK except for some jerkiness when cruising at a particular speed. 2002 Ford Mustang GT 4.6L(2v). Kind of difficult to diagnose an intermittent problem that doesn't trip a code.
yes , Do Not replace the fuel pump first, try the relay , fuse and then , FP driver module . easy easy fix. and low cost , found behind the spare tire on E150
Great video! I have a 2006 E450 (was a Uhaul) went through the steps, had power at the white after crossing the negatives, then jumped the positives and blew a fuse. My truck is different of course. I have 2 fuse panels. Do not have one on the passenger lock panel. Any idea the name of the fuse that popped?
Acts 21:32 Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul. Acts 21:33 Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done. Acts 21:34 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle. Acts 21:35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people. Acts 21:36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
finally someone who can explain in short term and direct, keep up the awesome job
You saved me $2,500, thank you so much for this detailed video!
Same here

I appreciate this vide just fixed mines today and that was the issue cranked right up after being re wired
Excellent job at explaining the problem didn't need any expensive test equipment just a test $5.00 test light.
Thanks for watching!

you mean actually diagnose the problem right?

Nice explanation, great video done!
Thanks sir
will that light work by placing the probe where the red wire comes out of the connector going to the fuel pump ?

When you bypass will it start or not when i put the module on fuel pump runs for 2 seconds and stops but when i bypass it runs for a little bit
Is it a bad idea to just bypass the fuel pump driver module?
best video i found, thank you!
yeah it was very helpful TYVM
Does anyone know why I have power at pin 5 with key on but with test light I loose it. But relay power up front test good with light
Great help thank you
Is it ok to turn on the truck after jumping it like that?
It should be. Unless you have something else that is causing the no start issue.
@@okcvet1st ok thank
Thank you so much it fixed my truck great video.
I bypassed the driver because I have 0psi koeo but running is 15 psi , but when I bypass it I only get 5 psi koeo
new fuel pump driver will not actuate. Still hard to start. Once started, engine purrs like a kitten. What's going on?
not your fpdm
