Rescued my wife and daughters stranded in a Target parking lot, looked like a genius, all because of this video. I even showed up with the right sockets, because you even announced what sizes I needed. You're awesome!
I was at the mechanic with this issue when I found this video. I insisted my mechanic try this because he was talking about replacing the whole fuel pump which was going to be 5 hours of labor. He agreed and IT WORKED! I never comment on videos but I had to say THANK YOU SO MUCH😊 !! You saved me so much time and money I don’t have $$!!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. My 2014 flex would not start with the same symptoms. I did not mess with the fuel pressure test, I just went with the odds and replaced the fuel pump relay. My flex fired right up. I would note anyone fixing there flex, take note of the 7 mm and 10 mm socket size before heading out. Also, take a towel to fill the void under the part. That way when removing the part, the nuts have no where to disappear into. Thanks again! Very much appreciated.
Dude! You seriously saved me hundreds of dollars (bravo 👏👏👏). I was minutes away from calling a tow truck and sending it to the shop. Within an hour of watching your video my car was back up and running (for less than $70). Thank you for your great video! 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fixed my car today with your help! Thanks so much! I actually did a search and found your video while I was waiting for my husband to come help me push my car out of the road after it stalled, died, and wouldn’t start back up. When you started with “does your car sound like this?...” I was like, YES! Felt pretty accomplished to take care of it myself.... so thanks!
Thank you for that video. I really thought I was going to spend half my paycheck at the mechanic. Now I am rolling again and spent less than a tank of gas. I especially appreciate giving us a clear picture and explanation of each of the connectors
You are a real MVP!! I originally had a bad battery, replaced it, still crank no start, watched your video and BAM!! Fired right up. Thank you so very much!!
This was such a great help! We followed the exact steps, bought the part, switched it out, and the Flex started right up! Thank you so much for saving us a tow and an expensive bill!
Thanks for saving my day - a Sunday at that!!! Have a 2015 Flex and this issue popped up suddenly - was leaving work and the vehicle wouldn’t start but would crank (sounded thirsty). Thought it was the battery - a jump didn’t help - no fuse blown. Came across this video and bought the part, installed it, and it started right up! As dumb as this may seem, your video was like a guardian angel. Thanks for taking the time to make it and your contribution to the community!
Bless you, sir! Got a call from my son who was stranded in their church parking lot with wife and three small kids. The no start condition seemed identical, so I ran out and got the part and took the chance. Took along the proper sockets as you indicated. I arrived even before the tow truck got there and had it switched out in five minutes. Canceled the tow. Your info was GOLD! And if anyone would have previously suggested the relay was in back of the trim behind the rear door, I would have thought they were crazy. Thank you!!!
Lifesaver, I worked through all the possibles and narrowed it down to no fuel, fuses, relays good, would have never known about a control module and even better, mounted in a great place for once. Thank you.
Hello my name is john. I ran into a issue with my Ford flex. It would crank but no start. I visited your website on youtube. You are a blessing. Exactly what you said it was. I owe you a beer. You save me a lot of money. There should be more people like you around the world. Maybe I can do a favor for you one day. You never know.
Also my flex has had problems with the passenger side heat blowing cold. Only the passenger side which I find wierd. No other videos have helped. I see you have a few other flex videos. I subscribed incase you paot one for that. Thank you again
Worked like a charm. My wife’s car didn’t start after visiting her parents. Left he car over night and found your video. Bought the part, checked the fuel line and replaced the relay. Thanks for making this video. Saved a lot $$$.
Man from North Carolina we just want to thank you down here in the south. First cold snap that we had down in the low 20s wife want to go to work tonight in the car just would not go. I was just about ready to call Roadside Assistance and make an appointment at the dealership tomorrow when I just so happen to look up on TH-cam and what do I find is your video. So I figured what was a $50 gamble if nothing else I could tell them I’ve already done that so they didn’t have to look at it. So two hours in the freezing cold in the dark and with your information I got the part and she’s running like a kitten thank you so much this car was my wife’s 25th anniversary present I normally don’t get the car alone unless somethings wrong this is one of those rare occurrences again thank you so much
Thanks! This is exactly what I needed to fix my 2014 Ford Flex. A few months a ago, I had it towed to a shop to fix the exact same problem. It cost me $150 total for the tow and diagnostics, and they did not even fix anything because it started at the shop without any issues; presumably, the tow bounced the car around enough to "unstick" the relay. When the Flex would not start again today, I did some searching and came across this video. I went to the parts store to get the relay module; it was about $70 and in stock at both NAPA and AutoZone. I replaced the relay module and the car started with the assistance of a jump from my minivan (battery was low from multiple unsuccessful start attempts earlier today.)
My husband and I went to see our mother in law who had a stroke, we took my two kids and my step daughter. We got stranded on the side of the interstate where the car stuttered and stopped . We couldn't find this part so we had our car towed to the dealership they couldn't get it in for 3 weeks but we did the fuel test and no fuel like you showed so we believe that this was the issue. My husband went to charge our battery and he already put the part in. So I hope once he gets back with the battery that this fixes our issue and we can go home. I appreciate you so much. Update: this man's a true blessing he helped me and my family out when we were stuck. This actually worked
Found your video and it was exactly right. Called the dealership and they wanted to replace my fuel pump for A LOT of money. Followed your instructions, got the part, and it fired right up. Thank you for your help
Thank you soooo much for the info on how to replace the fuel relay module. I got a new one but had a hard getting the old one off, I called some mechanic and he was no help, looked all over the web and you are the only one to show me about the push button. Thank you I finally got it off
Praise The Lord!!! Dude, I’d almost find you and give you a hug. It worked!!! Easy as you said it was and it fired right up. Got my module from the dealership so it cost a bit more. Still, you saved me a towing bill and a big repair bill. Thanks!!!
Had the exact problem, would start most of the time but sometimes wouldn’t, then it got to the point when it didn’t start at all. THIS WORKED!! Thank you so much!! I was so worried it was fuel pump or something and who knows if repair shop would have known to check this? Nobody mentioned the possibility of this when I called to ask about issue!! I never leave comments but this is definitely a huge help and hope it helps others! Thank you!
This was really helpful I volunteered to fix my daughter's friend Ford flex I normally refuse to work on Ford but she needs help she has two younger children and very little money a friend of hers said it's fuel pump so I installed it but had this feeling that it was the fuel module after watching your video and was able to test the output of the module I found the problem Put a new module in and away she goes
Woke up to my 2014 Flex cranking but not turning over, Google'd it and this video came up (BTW just drove it yesterday all was fine). Watched your video, found part at O'Reilly's for $63 including tax and it took 20 minutes to install thanks to you and IT WORKED like a charm. You saved me so much aggravation and money!! THANK YOU!!!!
This was such a great help! Followed the exact steps, bought the part, switched it out, and the Flex started right up! Thank you so much for saving us a tow and an expensive bill!
Well. Your video saved the day once again. Like others, my 2009 Flex was in the shop getting ready to be diagnosed. Then I found this video and thought that my issue seemed exactly the same as yours. So, I went and bought the part, now $69, and replaced it in the shop parking lot. The car started right up. I’m sure your video saved me several hundred $$$$. Thank you very much.
My recently purchased 2013 Flex with just 80000 did this. First time was Christmas eve. Never stumbled just no start. Sat 22 days, started and ran fine, until Jan 19. At 6 degrees it failed to start. After 3 hour wait for tow it still would not start. Towed to a dealer, rolled off the truck (1 AM...) IT STARTED RIGHT UP! Drove it straight home 95 miles did not miss a beat. Next day no start. Tried it about every day since, waiting for sub 10 weather and then days of rain to clear. I had a genuine FOMOCO module ordered in December from Tasca Ford, $63 with shipping ready., but car ran fine from December 26 to January 19... Tried it once more, then replaced it today. Start on first crank. Thanks for a great video. I don't trust Dorman parts, and at Tascas prices and 2 day delivery I'll use the real thing. There are 2 or more videos that are on 2013s, bad batch of parts then? I have an 09 Flex with 193000 that has never failed me...
Straight to the point!!Well done brother need more people like you out there...worked for me but broke the fuel line tab ordered both parts and got it done in a half an hour if that..
This just saved me 420 bucks and days worth of work and labor !!!!!!!! EVERYBODY DO THIS! i have a 2013 Ford Flex everything he said. i’ve had mechanic say it was the battery it was a starter. It was a fuel pump. Everyone was completely wrong after watching a nine minute video and buying a $50 part I fix my flex that was sitting for two days, but no mechanic could figure out where was wrong with it less than five minutes!!!!!! 😩 THIS IS AMAZING ! why don’t more mechanics no this about the Flex
I just want to say thanks for the great video. My wife called me this morning to say that the car wouldn't start. I went home did a quick google search and found your video at the top of the list. I pulled the fuel line and low and behold no pressure. We have an extended warranty but that would have costed us a $100 deductible. O'Reilly's had the part in stock for $46! I was back to work after only an hour and a half. Dealer would have no doubt taken 2 days.
Thank you so much for having this out there for all of us to learn from. I drove down from New York to Florida and got stuck at a Starbucks because of this stupid module. I was able to get one locally for 36 bucks and worked perfectly thank you so much again
It happened to my 2013 FLEX on Friday. I was tempted to get it towed. However, while desperately troubleshooting my car, as I was supposed to pick up our kids from camp, I googled for help and came across your video. I walked to the store and ordered the part. Today, I picked up the module and as soon as I plugged it in and turned the key, voila! Problem fixed! Thank you so much for sharing...
Thank you!! You are amazing!! Last night, after Thanksgiving dinner, an hour from home, our Flex wouldn’t start. I was googling it while I waited for the tow truck, and your video showed up. I had them tow it to our house instead of the shop (and I’ve got a great repair shop that we love and trust). I ordered the part last night, and picked it up this morning. I swapped out the parts, and it fired right up. My wife thinks I’m a manly man. My kids think I’m a hero. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my family’s heart. You saved us.
Can’t thank you enough. Saved me $1100! Thought for sure I was going to need to replace the fuel pump. Next beer I’m toasting to you sir. Thanks again.
Thanks! Thank you for taking the time to make and upload this video. $80 and zero diagnosis. Once I started looking and seeing every autoparts store stocking one of these modules, why not try it and it worked. I just got done doing my leaking water pump and timing chain last weekend - 15 hours. 2014 Flex 120,000
Thanks so much, I’m in Bellflower, California I had to bust a mission to find it the module. No one had it, every auto parts store had to order it. My car is up and running!!! God bless you!
Tina Magana Good for you!! I’m a mechanic in Lakewood and when a lady knows about her car it keeps the rip-off mechanics away! Please spread your strength to the ladies
Thank you. The well run local garage is swamped and wasn't going to be able to get to my vehicle for another week. This simple fix got me back on the road, quickly and for only a little money. The local parts store was amazing and drove to get the part for me while I worked. :)
Wow best video. I was able to leave home ho and fix my wife's flex 94km away and back. Thanks .I connect diagnostic tool and got two codes p0637 and p1450 which is the fuel tank vacuum and fuel pump module I called local auto parts they didn't have so I went to the closest dealership got the module for $80 and fuel tank vacuum $70. I change them on the spot. Everything worked fine went home safe thanks again
8pm and I went to back up the flex to a trailer for a trip and no start. Watched your video, ran down to the parts house, and with in a hour it was up and running. You are the MAN! Thanks
I'm another thankful soul. This fixed my Flex. Took me 10 minutes. What's it feel like to save all these people so much suffering and money ($100,000 maybe?)? May God richly bless you my friend.
SAVED me a bunch of money today, saw this video and another and decided to do it myself. Before I took the old out I tried the car again and it started, but I still replaced the old with the new. THANKS
Happy to be home, Thankful for TH-cam and Santer Auto Repair! I had a show in Salem MA today. I arrived early as I typically do to set up for a 4pm show. Knowing the venue wouldn’t have any parking, I parked in a local parking garage. I loaded up my gear on to my cart and got to the venue and set everything up. Everything was great. I had a blast at the show. When I got back to the car, it didn’t start. It was turning over, just not firing up. I tried it again, same situation. Turning over but not firing. 🤔 Hmmm…. It’s not getting fuel. Fuel pump? Fuel filter? Did someone siphon my tank? So there I am; stranded in a parking garage around 6 PM. (AAA? Nope. What’s that?) Now what? Do I get a room for the night and deal with the car in the morning? Do I call a tow truck? I did a quick search, “Ford flex won’t start”. I found a nine minute, 45 second video stating for 50 bucks you can fix your car. So while sitting in the parking garage watching the video he says, “does your car sound like this”. Why yes it does! The next thing you know, I’m calling an auto parts store looking for a fuel pump relay module. They have one in stock! $31.00 ok, “Nice I’ll be right there“. It’s a 20 minute walk one way. It’s getting late. I’ll call a cab. I take a cab to the auto parts store to get the part I need. Which they had set aside waiting for me. It turns out, it’s the wrong part. “Oh there are two listed”… so they go on a search throughout the store to find the new relay module. Score!! They have it! $50 But I will also need a 7mm and 10 mm socket (as stated in the video). Unfortunately, I did not have a set in the car as I often do. So, I purchase a small socket set for $30. I take the cab back to the garage. Now, the car has been sitting for sometime. In one final hopeful attempt, I cross my fingers and try to start it once more. Hoping it would fire right up. No dice. So, I remove the interior trim panel on the right, rear passenger side seatbelt cowling. There it is! I remove the two screws, unplug the module and plug the new one in. And just like magic, it starts right up!! It’s about an hour and 50 minute ride home. When all was said and done, I lost only about an hour of my time and $100. ($50 part, $30 socket set, $20 cab ride). However, I was back on the road in no time flat!! I didn’t have to get a hotel room. I didn’t have to get a tow. I didn’t have to pay for diagnostics and labor. All I can say is, I’m so happy I had my phone and was able to find that video. He totally saved the day! Also, happy this happened after the show and not before!! Also happy the part was easily accessible and not buried underneath the car near the gas tank or under the hood in some obscure location. (Other than hiding inside on the pillar behind the seatbelt trim 🤷🏻♂️). 👍🏼👍🏼 It’s not just a job it’s an adventure! 🎩🪄🚙
I just had to do this in a hot parking lot today!!! Started fine when I left the house, stopped by a store came out an hour later and this is exactly what it sounded like. Thanks so much for your video it worked!!!
OMG You are a life savor thank you for making this video I was at work getting off at 5am freaking out not understanding what was going on so o searched lots…. Of videos and came across yours and I really enjoyed your steps to change it out I bout the part online left my vehicle at the job came back my husband switched out the part and it started right up that k you agin for making these videos
Thank you Tom! My wife's Flex was doing this for a few weeks. Finally, we were stranded in the parking lot after church. I told our pastor we were going to leave her car overnight and get it towed in the morning. We went for lunch and I went to TH-cam. I found this video, and I went and bought the part. We went back to the church, our facilities guy was still there and he loaned me his tools and I swapped out the part. Pretty easy repair.
Thank you,thank you thank you.My Ford Flex is 2014 and has 51150 miles.It would not start in my driveway.I disconnected the hose that goes to the throttle body and sprayed starting fluid,it tried to start.I think that is better than disconnecting the fuel line.After watching your great video,I went to Advance Auto and bought the fuel pump relay.After installing it started right up.Thanks for saving me time and money.As I would have to have it towed if the relay did not fix the problem.Shame on Ford for having so many fuel pump relay failes.The fuel pump relay cost about $50.00.
Same thing here as everyone below has mention ...seen this one a few years ago when troubleshooting a purge valve ...remember it and this was the exact problem ...thanks again for a great video ...!!!
Christmas Eve/my birthday, freezing cold snowing and all I could think about was how I would rather blow the thing up than replace a fuel pump in these conditions and then I saw this video, and by God the Flex rides again. Thank you sir.
Thank you. Fixed my wife's this morning. Grabbed a module at dealership. Threw it in all good now. Thanks for stating it was a 7mm, I did not have so grabbed one on way back from dealership. Also make sure you have a deep 10mm, as the lower of the 10mm mounting bolts can be tight if using a bigger wrench. Subscribed!
A few months ago I had my car in the shop for 3-4 days and they could not figure it out. It started every time for them. I thought because I ran my fuel to empty a few times I messed up the pump. It ran fine for a few more months and this morning decided not to start, I thought it was too cold. I googled ford flex wont start and found your video. I am pretty confident I can fix this instead of having flex towed to garage again. thank you for sharing your expertise!
There is not much the common man can fix by himself on modern cars any more. I saw this video and decided to give it a try. So glad I did! Your instructions and videography were so clear, concise and complete that the job was a snap. Thanks so much! BTW, part now runs about $55 at local auto parts store.
I had this same problem on my 2015 Flex today. Checked all the basics first then googled the issue and came across your video. The only difference is that when I took apart the fuel line, there was still fuel in it so I quickly put it back together. It started right up once I installed the new relay ($42 at Autozone). Thank you!
WOW just WOW!! THANK YOU !!!!! Just hit 100,000 miles on my 2014 and was ok yesterday and today wouldn't start and sounded just like what you posted . Thank goodness it wouldn't start in my driveway and I wasn't out on the road. Tried changing spark plugs (will look at how those are placed next vehicle i get!! ughh) and after all that it didn't help , but needed it...then found this!! Fixed in less than 15 minutes and part at auto store was in stock 49.99 plus tax. I am not a car person but your video was awesome.. ..I know so much more about my vehicle now ....THANK YOU!!
Thank you for this video. I'm a 66 year old grandmother and was was able to do this repair thanks to your video! 😂Cranks right up now! Luckily, it was in my driveway when it wouldn't start so I was only stranded at home. Your video was very detailed and easy to understand. Thank you!
Thank you so much! This video was spot on perfect and so easy to follow. We did exactly as you suggested and it worked! Everything from the part number we ordered to the cost of the repair was identical to what you had posted. Got the flex running tonight in only 15 minutes start to finish repair. Because of your video I can get to work tomorrow and save sick animals :) thank you so much!!! ❤️🐾
THANK YOU! I unfortunately found your video too late. I have already fished out 1800 for Ford to replace my battery and my fuel pump 🤬😫. Just to have my car do this AGAIN, two months later. 🤬🤬. Cost me 58 bucks and now running like a charm! You for sure saved me probably at least 1000+ more. Much appreciated!
Oh! MY GAWD! You just saved me a LOT of money and time. My wife was in the Value Village parking lot. I searched Ford Flex won’t start and BAMMM! There you were to save the day! I went home and got a 7 and 10 mm but drivers and a screw driver to pop the cover thingy.. BAMM! Started right up. YOU DA MAN!!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you for this video. I am not mechanically inclined and we panicked when our car didn’t start on Sunday Morning (when it ran perfect the previous day). I was able to follow your steps and fixed my car. It was such a relief to hear it start. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Can't thank you enough. As others have stated "you are like a guardian angel" i truly felt that some devine intervision had came into play when your video came up and helped. I to thought it was the battery at first, and after watching your video i was able to fix it myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank God for this video also thank God for your channel on TH-cam………………. We got stranded in living spaces parking lot in California with my whole family…
Thank you so much for this video!!!!! This happened to my car the other night and I was dreading calling a mechanic. I searched for similar issues on TH-cam and ran across your video!!! I figured hey why not just go buy the part and see if it works. I bought myself my very first ratchet set lol and the fuel pump relay. I followed your instructions and installed the new part. My car started !!!!! Thank you again for the very detailed and informative video….. oh and for saving me $$$$$
U HELPED ME FIX MY FORD FLEX!!!... I am dumb when it comez 2 carz but wit yo video I fixed my own Flex!!!... thank u from tha bottom of my heart & poccet
Well now I feel like a mechanic. I just slapped in a new fuel pump relay module and away we go. Thanks so much for the tip! The only part that was different was I spent $64 dollars. You were right the relay was $50 but who can get out of advanced auto parts without picking up a few extra things. Awesome video!!
My man! You saved the day. I’m not very handy and that fix took me about 10 minutes. I went straight to the fuel pump relay module and swapped it out without messing with the engine as I knew this was probably my issue. Thank you soooooo much. My 2014 Ford Flex is happy again.
Your awesome my car died driving down the interstate. Could of swore it was the fuel pump then I watched your video. I took the chance and went and bought the relay. Ten minutes later I’m driving down the road. Thank you
Excellent advice, I was suspecting the fuel shutoff was tripped or a fuel pump relay and had no idea where either were located. This video was and is to the point and very informative. Thank you very much for posting this, absolutely got me out of a jam!
Thank you! My 2013 non-EB Flex was not starting last night after shopping at the Home Depot where it was -3. I had to leave it there, but thanks to your video I returned in the morning and replaced the relay and it started right up.
Thanks for making the video. I found the solution on a Ford owners web site but your video confirmed the problem and solution. A temporary fix that got me back on the road when stranded in the middle of no where was to tap the fuel pump relay module a couple times. The engine started. Tapping it was enough to free up the relay. I was able to drive to an auto parts store where I purchased a replacement.
Appreciate your time to put this together and share it. My wife’s 2014 Flex started acting up a few weeks ago, would always crank, but not always start. I suspected this fuel pump relay as my daughters 2001 Accord just had these same symptoms last month and a replacement fixed it. Having video showing exactly where things are makes installation easy. THANKS AGAIN!!
Thank you so much for this video! Like many others here, my Flex wasn't starting, and this resolved the issue. Saved me hundreds of dollars! Thanks again!
Alright, Mr. Foolery! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Really saved my but. The fact that I was not getting any check engine codes was confusing me. I was beginning to think that I had a clogged line. Thankfully, this is easier to fix.
Just watched this and got power back to my pump in 30 minutes. Orileys has a lifetime warranty on the part for $50. Crazy how there is no warning or anything to tell you the relay is bad. I'm happy this fixed the problem today.
I am so thankful for you and this video! My Ford flex had been doing this on and off for 2 years. I even had to have the car towed to my mechanic only for him to tell me nothing was wrong and it was starting. So when it happened again and I googled it this you tube video are up. My husband ordered the part and installed it in under 20 mins including grabbing his tools! Thank you!
UPDATE!!!!!!!.... You put the biggest smile on this mans face. It worked! Incredibly your... “does your engine sound like this” is spot on pitch perfect. And your instructional was great. I did lose a socket down the void 😂😂. Thank you again for this easy video and saving me a bunch of cash. Your video is truly appreciated ***We’ll see if this fixes it. It sure sounds like what’s going on with my 2013 Ford Flex. Bought the part this evening but I’ll have to wait till tomorrow to get to my car at work to install it. Update to follow🤙🏽
My 13 Flex just broke down in the Home Depot parking lot. I’ve had this part on my Amazon wishlist just for this occasion but of course I never got around to buying it. Fortunately my wife was able to snag one from Advance Auto parts and install it in the Home Depot parking lot. Can’t thank you enough. Replaced the part at 80,300 miles.
I want to thank you, my first thought was a fuel pump. After your video I took a chance and did what your video explained and it worked. Saved me a ton of time and money. Thank you
Thanks so much, we had this happen on our 2013 Flex. I checked the fuses and everything looked good then I ran across your video. Save us from having to have it towed into a shop.
Wow, so thankful for this video! Went out this morning to start the car and it just let turning over but wouldn’t crack. Everyone kept telling me to jump start but I knew that wasn’t the issue. I’m so glad I watched the video and fixed it myself. Cost me only $50. F***ing life saver!!!
My 2014 flex was giving me issues whenever i filled the tank all the way to full, with the same issues of this video. Then yesterday while it sat for 9 hours while at work, it wouldn’t take fuel at all. So I followed this man’s steps and bought the fuel reg module for $62, took 10 minutes to replace, and it fired right up. Thank you sir!
Awesome video! I had this exact same issue with my 2013 Flex; watched your video, replaced the module and it started right up! Saved me a tow bill plus an hour of shop time. Thanks!
This was ridiculously helpful! I cannot believe it actually solved my problem but it totally did! Thanks for taking the time to show the world how to save a lot of money!
Just had this happened today, last week my 2013 Flex died backing out of the driveway. I just thought since it was cold it was a fluke, drove it since no issues, today died 50 times. Would start right up and die, start and die. Watched your video. Thanks for the socket sizes and how to take the panel off! New part fixed the issue! Thank you sir! Keep the flex videos coming!
Rescued my wife and daughters stranded in a Target parking lot, looked like a genius, all because of this video. I even showed up with the right sockets, because you even announced what sizes I needed. You're awesome!
That’s good to hear! Thanks!
I was at the mechanic with this issue when I found this video. I insisted my mechanic try this because he was talking about replacing the whole fuel pump which was going to be 5 hours of labor. He agreed and IT WORKED! I never comment on videos but I had to say THANK YOU SO MUCH😊 !! You saved me so much time and money I don’t have $$!!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. My 2014 flex would not start with the same symptoms. I did not mess with the fuel pressure test, I just went with the odds and replaced the fuel pump relay. My flex fired right up. I would note anyone fixing there flex, take note of the 7 mm and 10 mm socket size before heading out. Also, take a towel to fill the void under the part. That way when removing the part, the nuts have no where to disappear into. Thanks again! Very much appreciated.
That towel idea is spot on! Thanks!
Dude! You seriously saved me hundreds of dollars (bravo 👏👏👏). I was minutes away from calling a tow truck and sending it to the shop. Within an hour of watching your video my car was back up and running (for less than $70). Thank you for your great video! 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You saved me the cost of a tow truck and auto shop diagnostics and repair costs. Thank you.
Fixed my car today with your help! Thanks so much! I actually did a search and found your video while I was waiting for my husband to come help me push my car out of the road after it stalled, died, and wouldn’t start back up. When you started with “does your car sound like this?...” I was like, YES! Felt pretty accomplished to take care of it myself.... so thanks!
Sorry for your troubles but that’s awesome that this video helped ya out! Thanks for watching! (I have other vids too... hint hint) 😆
I was also able to tap on the old one that allowed me to start it and get over to the auto parts store
Thank you for that video. I really thought I was going to spend half my paycheck at the mechanic. Now I am rolling again and spent less than a tank of gas. I especially appreciate giving us a clear picture and explanation of each of the connectors
You are a real MVP!! I originally had a bad battery, replaced it, still crank no start, watched your video and BAM!! Fired right up. Thank you so very much!!
This was such a great help! We followed the exact steps, bought the part, switched it out, and the Flex started right up! Thank you so much for saving us a tow and an expensive bill!
Thanks for saving my day - a Sunday at that!!! Have a 2015 Flex and this issue popped up suddenly - was leaving work and the vehicle wouldn’t start but would crank (sounded thirsty). Thought it was the battery - a jump didn’t help - no fuse blown. Came across this video and bought the part, installed it, and it started right up! As dumb as this may seem, your video was like a guardian angel. Thanks for taking the time to make it and your contribution to the community!
Thanks for watching and I’m glad the video helped you out!
That is exactly what happened to me with my 2014 Ford Flex. The hardest part was finding the part right away.
Bless you, sir! Got a call from my son who was stranded in their church parking lot with wife and three small kids. The no start condition seemed identical, so I ran out and got the part and took the chance. Took along the proper sockets as you indicated. I arrived even before the tow truck got there and had it switched out in five minutes. Canceled the tow. Your info was GOLD! And if anyone would have previously suggested the relay was in back of the trim behind the rear door, I would have thought they were crazy. Thank you!!!
Lifesaver, I worked through all the possibles and narrowed it down to no fuel, fuses, relays good, would have never known about a control module and even better, mounted in a great place for once. Thank you.
Hello my name is john. I ran into a issue with my Ford flex. It would crank but no start. I visited your website on youtube. You are a blessing. Exactly what you said it was. I owe you a beer. You save me a lot of money. There should be more people like you around the world. Maybe I can do a favor for you one day. You never know.
Amazing video!!!! You saved me the cost of a tow and tons of grief. Now I look like the hero that can fix stuff in the family. Great video!
Also my flex has had problems with the passenger side heat blowing cold. Only the passenger side which I find wierd. No other videos have helped. I see you have a few other flex videos. I subscribed incase you paot one for that. Thank you again
Worked like a charm. My wife’s car didn’t start after visiting her parents. Left he car over night and found your video. Bought the part, checked the fuel line and replaced the relay. Thanks for making this video. Saved a lot $$$.
Glad it helped!
Man from North Carolina we just want to thank you down here in the south. First cold snap that we had down in the low 20s wife want to go to work tonight in the car just would not go. I was just about ready to call Roadside Assistance and make an appointment at the dealership tomorrow when I just so happen to look up on TH-cam and what do I find is your video. So I figured what was a $50 gamble if nothing else I could tell them I’ve already done that so they didn’t have to look at it. So two hours in the freezing cold in the dark and with your information I got the part and she’s running like a kitten thank you so much this car was my wife’s 25th anniversary present I normally don’t get the car alone unless somethings wrong this is one of those rare occurrences again thank you so much
Thanks! This is exactly what I needed to fix my 2014 Ford Flex. A few months a ago, I had it towed to a shop to fix the exact same problem. It cost me $150 total for the tow and diagnostics, and they did not even fix anything because it started at the shop without any issues; presumably, the tow bounced the car around enough to "unstick" the relay. When the Flex would not start again today, I did some searching and came across this video. I went to the parts store to get the relay module; it was about $70 and in stock at both NAPA and AutoZone. I replaced the relay module and the car started with the assistance of a jump from my minivan (battery was low from multiple unsuccessful start attempts earlier today.)
My husband and I went to see our mother in law who had a stroke, we took my two kids and my step daughter. We got stranded on the side of the interstate where the car stuttered and stopped . We couldn't find this part so we had our car towed to the dealership they couldn't get it in for 3 weeks but we did the fuel test and no fuel like you showed so we believe that this was the issue. My husband went to charge our battery and he already put the part in. So I hope once he gets back with the battery that this fixes our issue and we can go home. I appreciate you so much. Update: this man's a true blessing he helped me and my family out when we were stuck. This actually worked
Sorry to hear that you guys broke down but at the same time I’m happy to hear the video helped you get going again!
Found your video and it was exactly right. Called the dealership and they wanted to replace my fuel pump for A LOT of money. Followed your instructions, got the part, and it fired right up. Thank you for your help
That’s great! You saved a ton of money!
Thank you soooo much for the info on how to replace the fuel relay module. I got a new one but had a hard getting the old one off, I called some mechanic and he was no help, looked all over the web and you are the only one to show me about the push button. Thank you I finally got it off
Praise The Lord!!! Dude, I’d almost find you and give you a hug. It worked!!! Easy as you said it was and it fired right up. Got my module from the dealership so it cost a bit more. Still, you saved me a towing bill and a big repair bill. Thanks!!!
Had the exact problem, would start most of the time but sometimes wouldn’t, then it got to the point when it didn’t start at all. THIS WORKED!! Thank you so much!! I was so worried it was fuel pump or something and who knows if repair shop would have known to check this? Nobody mentioned the possibility of this when I called to ask about issue!! I never leave comments but this is definitely a huge help and hope it helps others! Thank you!
Well I appreciate the comment and I’m glad it helped your vehicle! Saved ya a few bucks!
This was really helpful I volunteered to fix my daughter's friend Ford flex I normally refuse to work on Ford but she needs help she has two younger children and very little money a friend of hers said it's fuel pump so I installed it but had this feeling that it was the fuel module after watching your video and was able to test the output of the module I found the problem
Put a new module in and away she goes
Woke up to my 2014 Flex cranking but not turning over, Google'd it and this video came up (BTW just drove it yesterday all was fine). Watched your video, found part at O'Reilly's for $63 including tax and it took 20 minutes to install thanks to you and IT WORKED like a charm. You saved me so much aggravation and money!! THANK YOU!!!!
This was such a great help! Followed the exact steps, bought the part, switched it out, and the Flex started right up! Thank you so much for saving us a tow and an expensive bill!
Well. Your video saved the day once again. Like others, my 2009 Flex was in the shop getting ready to be diagnosed. Then I found this video and thought that my issue seemed exactly the same as yours. So, I went and bought the part, now $69, and replaced it in the shop parking lot. The car started right up. I’m sure your video saved me several hundred $$$$. Thank you very much.
Excellent solution - I paid $60 for the part and installed it - and the Flex started up again! Great video, I'm subscribed now!
My recently purchased 2013 Flex with just 80000 did this. First time was Christmas eve. Never stumbled just no start. Sat 22 days, started and ran fine, until Jan 19. At 6 degrees it failed to start. After 3 hour wait for tow it still would not start. Towed to a dealer, rolled off the truck (1 AM...) IT STARTED RIGHT UP! Drove it straight home 95 miles did not miss a beat. Next day no start. Tried it about every day since, waiting for sub 10 weather and then days of rain to clear. I had a genuine FOMOCO module ordered in December from Tasca Ford, $63 with shipping ready., but car ran fine from December 26 to January 19... Tried it once more, then replaced it today. Start on first crank. Thanks for a great video. I don't trust Dorman parts, and at Tascas prices and 2 day delivery I'll use the real thing. There are 2 or more videos that are on 2013s, bad batch of parts then? I have an 09 Flex with 193000 that has never failed me...
It sat 2 days not 22...
Thank you so much!!! 2015. Ford Flex, you saved me hours, and hundreds of dollars!!!! I saved 15% by switching to you tube!!!
It worked! I had my doubts that a random video on the internet would provide such an easy fix, but I'm so glad I tried this first.
Straight to the point!!Well done brother need more people like you out there...worked for me but broke the fuel line tab ordered both parts and got it done in a half an hour if that..
Awesome! And thank you!
This just saved me 420 bucks and days worth of work and labor !!!!!!!! EVERYBODY DO THIS! i have a 2013 Ford Flex everything he said. i’ve had mechanic say it was the battery it was a starter. It was a fuel pump. Everyone was completely wrong after watching a nine minute video and buying a $50 part I fix my flex that was sitting for two days, but no mechanic could figure out where was wrong with it less than five minutes!!!!!! 😩 THIS IS AMAZING ! why don’t more mechanics no this about the Flex
I just want to say thanks for the great video. My wife called me this morning to say that the car wouldn't start. I went home did a quick google search and found your video at the top of the list. I pulled the fuel line and low and behold no pressure. We have an extended warranty but that would have costed us a $100 deductible. O'Reilly's had the part in stock for $46! I was back to work after only an hour and a half. Dealer would have no doubt taken 2 days.
That's great! I'm glad the video helped!
Thank you so much for having this out there for all of us to learn from. I drove down from New York to Florida and got stuck at a Starbucks because of this stupid module. I was able to get one locally for 36 bucks and worked perfectly thank you so much again
It happened to my 2013 FLEX on Friday. I was tempted to get it towed. However, while desperately troubleshooting my car, as I was supposed to pick up our kids from camp, I googled for help and came across your video. I walked to the store and ordered the part.
Today, I picked up the module and as soon as I plugged it in and turned the key, voila! Problem fixed!
Thank you so much for sharing...
Good deal and thanks!
Thank you!! You are amazing!! Last night, after Thanksgiving dinner, an hour from home, our Flex wouldn’t start. I was googling it while I waited for the tow truck, and your video showed up. I had them tow it to our house instead of the shop (and I’ve got a great repair shop that we love and trust). I ordered the part last night, and picked it up this morning. I swapped out the parts, and it fired right up. My wife thinks I’m a manly man. My kids think I’m a hero. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my family’s heart. You saved us.
That is awesome! I bet your wife is bragging about you to her friends lol
She is, but first she had to get over the shock that it worked :-)
Can’t thank you enough. Saved me $1100! Thought for sure I was going to need to replace the fuel pump. Next beer I’m toasting to you sir. Thanks again.
Glad I could help! Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to make and upload this video. $80 and zero diagnosis. Once I started looking and seeing every autoparts store stocking one of these modules, why not try it and it worked.
I just got done doing my leaking water pump and timing chain last weekend - 15 hours.
2014 Flex 120,000
Found an open box on Amazon for $25 and Worked Like A Charm! Thank You for a great video!
Thanks so much, I’m in Bellflower, California I had to bust a mission to find it the module. No one had it, every auto parts store had to order it. My car is up and running!!! God bless you!
Awesome!
Tina Magana Good for you!! I’m a mechanic in Lakewood and when a lady knows about her car it keeps the rip-off mechanics away! Please spread your strength to the ladies
Thank you. The well run local garage is swamped and wasn't going to be able to get to my vehicle for another week. This simple fix got me back on the road, quickly and for only a little money. The local parts store was amazing and drove to get the part for me while I worked. :)
Good deal!
Wow best video. I was able to leave home ho and fix my wife's flex 94km away and back. Thanks .I connect diagnostic tool and got two codes p0637 and p1450 which is the fuel tank vacuum and fuel pump module I called local auto parts they didn't have so I went to the closest dealership got the module for $80 and fuel tank vacuum $70. I change them on the spot. Everything worked fine went home safe thanks again
Good deal and thank you!
8pm and I went to back up the flex to a trailer for a trip and no start. Watched your video, ran down to the parts house, and with in a hour it was up and running. You are the MAN! Thanks
I'm another thankful soul. This fixed my Flex. Took me 10 minutes. What's it feel like to save all these people so much suffering and money ($100,000 maybe?)? May God richly bless you my friend.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!! It literally took 30 minutes to replace. I am beyond grateful!!!
SAVED me a bunch of money today, saw this video and another and decided to do it myself. Before I took the old out I tried the car again and it started, but I still replaced the old with the new. THANKS
Good deal!
Happy to be home, Thankful for TH-cam and Santer Auto Repair!
I had a show in Salem MA today. I arrived early as I typically do to set up for a 4pm show. Knowing the venue wouldn’t have any parking, I parked in a local parking garage. I loaded up my gear on to my cart and got to the venue and set everything up. Everything was great. I had a blast at the show. When I got back to the car, it didn’t start. It was turning over, just not firing up. I tried it again, same situation. Turning over but not firing. 🤔 Hmmm….
It’s not getting fuel. Fuel pump? Fuel filter? Did someone siphon my tank? So there I am; stranded in a parking garage around 6 PM. (AAA? Nope. What’s that?)
Now what? Do I get a room for the night and deal with the car in the morning? Do I call a tow truck? I did a quick search, “Ford flex won’t start”. I found a nine minute, 45 second video stating for 50 bucks you can fix your car. So while sitting in the parking garage watching the video he says, “does your car sound like this”. Why yes it does! The next thing you know, I’m calling an auto parts store looking for a fuel pump relay module. They have one in stock! $31.00 ok, “Nice I’ll be right there“.
It’s a 20 minute walk one way. It’s getting late. I’ll call a cab. I take a cab to the auto parts store to get the part I need. Which they had set aside waiting for me. It turns out, it’s the wrong part. “Oh there are two listed”… so they go on a search throughout the store to find the new relay module. Score!! They have it! $50 But I will also need a 7mm and 10 mm socket (as stated in the video). Unfortunately, I did not have a set in the car as I often do. So, I purchase a small socket set for $30. I take the cab back to the garage.
Now, the car has been sitting for sometime. In one final hopeful attempt, I cross my fingers and try to start it once more. Hoping it would fire right up. No dice. So, I remove the interior trim panel on the right, rear passenger side seatbelt cowling. There it is! I remove the two screws, unplug the module and plug the new one in. And just like magic, it starts right up!! It’s about an hour and 50 minute ride home.
When all was said and done, I lost only about an hour of my time and $100. ($50 part, $30 socket set, $20 cab ride). However, I was back on the road in no time flat!! I didn’t have to get a hotel room. I didn’t have to get a tow. I didn’t have to pay for diagnostics and labor.
All I can say is, I’m so happy I had my phone and was able to find that video. He totally saved the day! Also, happy this happened after the show and not before!! Also happy the part was easily accessible and not buried underneath the car near the gas tank or under the hood in some obscure location. (Other than hiding inside on the pillar behind the seatbelt trim 🤷🏻♂️). 👍🏼👍🏼
It’s not just a job it’s an adventure! 🎩🪄🚙
I just had to do this in a hot parking lot today!!! Started fine when I left the house, stopped by a store came out an hour later and this is exactly what it sounded like. Thanks so much for your video it worked!!!
OMG You are a life savor thank you for making this video I was at work getting off at 5am freaking out not understanding what was going on so o searched lots…. Of videos and came across yours and I really enjoyed your steps to change it out I bout the part online left my vehicle at the job came back my husband switched out the part and it started right up that k you agin for making these videos
Thank you Tom! My wife's Flex was doing this for a few weeks. Finally, we were stranded in the parking lot after church. I told our pastor we were going to leave her car overnight and get it towed in the morning. We went for lunch and I went to TH-cam. I found this video, and I went and bought the part. We went back to the church, our facilities guy was still there and he loaned me his tools and I swapped out the part. Pretty easy repair.
That’s great to hear! Good job!
Thank you,thank you thank you.My Ford Flex is 2014 and has 51150 miles.It would not start in my driveway.I disconnected the hose that goes to the throttle body and sprayed starting fluid,it tried to start.I think that is better than disconnecting the fuel line.After watching your great video,I went to Advance Auto and bought the fuel pump relay.After installing it started right up.Thanks for saving me time and money.As I would have to have it towed if the relay did not fix the problem.Shame on Ford for having so many fuel pump relay failes.The fuel pump relay cost about $50.00.
Thank you so much!!! You're sucha blessing my friend!🙏😭
WATCH THIS VIDEO BEFORE CHANGING FUEL PUMP!!
Thank you!
Same thing here as everyone below has mention ...seen this one a few years ago when troubleshooting a purge valve ...remember it and this was the exact problem ...thanks again for a great video ...!!!
Christmas Eve/my birthday, freezing cold snowing and all I could think about was how I would rather blow the thing up than replace a fuel pump in these conditions and then I saw this video, and by God the Flex rides again. Thank you sir.
Thank you. Fixed my wife's this morning. Grabbed a module at dealership. Threw it in all good now. Thanks for stating it was a 7mm, I did not have so grabbed one on way back from dealership. Also make sure you have a deep 10mm, as the lower of the 10mm mounting bolts can be tight if using a bigger wrench.
Subscribed!
Just want to say thank you for this video. I was able to fix this problem without having the cost of a tow and exorbitant mechanic fees. Thank you!
A few months ago I had my car in the shop for 3-4 days and they could not figure it out. It started every time for them. I thought because I ran my fuel to empty a few times I messed up the pump. It ran fine for a few more months and this morning decided not to start, I thought it was too cold. I googled ford flex wont start and found your video. I am pretty confident I can fix this instead of having flex towed to garage again. thank you for sharing your expertise!
There is not much the common man can fix by himself on modern cars any more. I saw this video and decided to give it a try. So glad I did! Your instructions and videography were so clear, concise and complete that the job was a snap. Thanks so much! BTW, part now runs about $55 at local auto parts store.
71$ now!
Saved me a ton of $$$ and I was finished in 10 minutes. Thanks! Please post all the work you have done to the Flex
I had this same problem on my 2015 Flex today. Checked all the basics first then googled the issue and came across your video. The only difference is that when I took apart the fuel line, there was still fuel in it so I quickly put it back together. It started right up once I installed the new relay ($42 at Autozone). Thank you!
Thank you! My car did this while following my husband in his car back to the mechanic. The mechanics guess was a fuel pump so you saved us $800.
WOW just WOW!! THANK YOU !!!!! Just hit 100,000 miles on my 2014 and was ok yesterday and today wouldn't start and sounded just like what you posted . Thank goodness it wouldn't start in my driveway and I wasn't out on the road. Tried changing spark plugs (will look at how those are placed next vehicle i get!! ughh) and after all that it didn't help , but needed it...then found this!! Fixed in less than 15 minutes and part at auto store was in stock 49.99 plus tax. I am not a car person but your video was awesome.. ..I know so much more about my vehicle now ....THANK YOU!!
Thank you sir! Fixed my car in 10 minutes. You deserve a TH-cam play button for this
I want one! LOL
Thank you for this video. I'm a 66 year old grandmother and was was able to do this repair thanks to your video! 😂Cranks right up now! Luckily, it was in my driveway when it wouldn't start so I was only stranded at home. Your video was very detailed and easy to understand. Thank you!
Thanks so much for this! Saved a tow & a trip to the shop!
The call out for the socket sizes was clutch as well! 👍🏻
Thank you! Saved my mother a lot of money and a towing bill.
Excellent! Glad it helped!
Thank you so much! This video was spot on perfect and so easy to follow. We did exactly as you suggested and it worked! Everything from the part number we ordered to the cost of the repair was identical to what you had posted. Got the flex running tonight in only 15 minutes start to finish repair. Because of your video I can get to work tomorrow and save sick animals :) thank you so much!!! ❤️🐾
THANK YOU! I unfortunately found your video too late. I have already fished out 1800 for Ford to replace my battery and my fuel pump 🤬😫. Just to have my car do this AGAIN, two months later. 🤬🤬. Cost me 58 bucks and now running like a charm! You for sure saved me probably at least 1000+ more. Much appreciated!
Oh! MY GAWD! You just saved me a LOT of money and time. My wife was in the Value Village parking lot. I searched Ford Flex won’t start and BAMMM! There you were to save the day! I went home and got a 7 and 10 mm but drivers and a screw driver to pop the cover thingy.. BAMM! Started right up. YOU DA MAN!!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you for this video. I am not mechanically inclined and we panicked when our car didn’t start on Sunday Morning (when it ran perfect the previous day). I was able to follow your steps and fixed my car. It was such a relief to hear it start. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Can't thank you enough. As others have stated "you are like a guardian angel" i truly felt that some devine intervision had came into play when your video came up and helped. I to thought it was the battery at first, and after watching your video i was able to fix it myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you for the kind words!
Thank God for this video also thank God for your channel on TH-cam………………. We got stranded in living spaces parking lot in California with my whole family…
You sir, saved me a morning of frustration. Thank you! You need to give DIY video lessons. This was the best I’ve seen. PERFECT.
Thank you so much for this video!!!!! This happened to my car the other night and I was dreading calling a mechanic. I searched for similar issues on TH-cam and ran across your video!!! I figured hey why not just go buy the part and see if it works. I bought myself my very first ratchet set lol and the fuel pump relay. I followed your instructions and installed the new part. My car started !!!!! Thank you again for the very detailed and informative video….. oh and for saving me $$$$$
Used this video to today, but went straight to fuel pump relay module. I fixed it with not too much time in it. Thanks for the video.
I’m glad the video pointed you in the right direction! Thanks
U HELPED ME FIX MY FORD FLEX!!!... I am dumb when it comez 2 carz but wit yo video I fixed my own Flex!!!... thank u from tha bottom of my heart & poccet
Well now I feel like a mechanic. I just slapped in a new fuel pump relay module and away we go. Thanks so much for the tip! The only part that was different was I spent $64 dollars. You were right the relay was $50 but who can get out of advanced auto parts without picking up a few extra things. Awesome video!!
My man! You saved the day. I’m not very handy and that fix took me about 10 minutes. I went straight to the fuel pump relay module and swapped it out without messing with the engine as I knew this was probably my issue. Thank you soooooo much. My 2014 Ford Flex is happy again.
That’s awesome! Thanks for the positive feedback!
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I , a 57 year old woman, fixed my Flexy myself. God bless you and again, thank you so much!
That’s great news! Thanks for watching!
10 minute repair. Thanks. I am looking for the next release on how to fish out a screw from the abyss.
Haha get a new screw! Not worth the battle!
I was trying to find which side left or right does the fuel pump go... Fortunately I found this video 😁 it saved me nearly 500 bucks...Thank You
Your awesome my car died driving down the interstate. Could of swore it was the fuel pump then I watched your video. I took the chance and went and bought the relay. Ten minutes later I’m driving down the road. Thank you
Excellent advice, I was suspecting the fuel shutoff was tripped or a fuel pump relay and had no idea where either were located. This video was and is to the point and very informative. Thank you very much for posting this, absolutely got me out of a jam!
Thank you! My 2013 non-EB Flex was not starting last night after shopping at the Home Depot where it was -3. I had to leave it there, but thanks to your video I returned in the morning and replaced the relay and it started right up.
Thanks for making the video. I found the solution on a Ford owners web site but your video confirmed the problem and solution.
A temporary fix that got me back on the road when stranded in the middle of no where was to tap the fuel pump relay module a couple times. The engine started. Tapping it was enough to free up the relay. I was able to drive to an auto parts store where I purchased a replacement.
This exact symptom occurred on my 2013 Ford flex and this fix worked perfectly! Thank you so much!
Appreciate your time to put this together and share it. My wife’s 2014 Flex started acting up a few weeks ago, would always crank, but not always start. I suspected this fuel pump relay as my daughters 2001 Accord just had these same symptoms last month and a replacement fixed it. Having video showing exactly where things are makes installation easy. THANKS AGAIN!!
Thank you so much for this video! Like many others here, my Flex wasn't starting, and this resolved the issue. Saved me hundreds of dollars! Thanks again!
You're welcome! I’m glad it helped! Thanks for the comment/feedback! I appreciate it!
Alright, Mr. Foolery! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Really saved my but. The fact that I was not getting any check engine codes was confusing me. I was beginning to think that I had a clogged line. Thankfully, this is easier to fix.
Just watched this and got power back to my pump in 30 minutes. Orileys has a lifetime warranty on the part for $50. Crazy how there is no warning or anything to tell you the relay is bad. I'm happy this fixed the problem today.
And thank you for posting and trimming the fat.
I am so thankful for you and this video! My Ford flex had been doing this on and off for 2 years. I even had to have the car towed to my mechanic only for him to tell me nothing was wrong and it was starting. So when it happened again and I googled it this you tube video are up. My husband ordered the part and installed it in under 20 mins including grabbing his tools! Thank you!
UPDATE!!!!!!!.... You put the biggest smile on this mans face. It worked! Incredibly your... “does your engine sound like this” is spot on pitch perfect. And your instructional was great. I did lose a socket down the void 😂😂. Thank you again for this easy video and saving me a bunch of cash. Your video is truly appreciated
***We’ll see if this fixes it. It sure sounds like what’s going on with my 2013 Ford Flex. Bought the part this evening but I’ll have to wait till tomorrow to get to my car at work to install it. Update to follow🤙🏽
Hopefully it gets it running again!
My 13 Flex just broke down in the Home Depot parking lot. I’ve had this part on my Amazon wishlist just for this occasion but of course I never got around to buying it. Fortunately my wife was able to snag one from Advance Auto parts and install it in the Home Depot parking lot. Can’t thank you enough. Replaced the part at 80,300 miles.
It’s unfortunate it needed to be replaced at such low mileage but it’s great you did it yourself and saved $$$!
Thank you. This video saved me a tow bill, labor and parts. 60 bucks 10 minutes total is much better on my wallet. This is was my first self repair.
That’s great! I’m glad it helped you
I want to thank you, my first thought was a fuel pump. After your video I took a chance and did what your video explained and it worked. Saved me a ton of time and money. Thank you
Thanks so much, we had this happen on our 2013 Flex. I checked the fuses and everything looked good then I ran across your video. Save us from having to have it towed into a shop.
Wow, so thankful for this video! Went out this morning to start the car and it just let turning over but wouldn’t crack. Everyone kept telling me to jump start but I knew that wasn’t the issue. I’m so glad I watched the video and fixed it myself. Cost me only $50. F***ing life saver!!!
My 2014 flex was giving me issues whenever i filled the tank all the way to full, with the same issues of this video. Then yesterday while it sat for 9 hours while at work, it wouldn’t take fuel at all. So I followed this man’s steps and bought the fuel reg module for $62, took 10 minutes to replace, and it fired right up. Thank you sir!
Awesome! Thanks!
Awesome video! I had this exact same issue with my 2013 Flex; watched your video, replaced the module and it started right up! Saved me a tow bill plus an hour of shop time. Thanks!
This was ridiculously helpful! I cannot believe it actually solved my problem but it totally did! Thanks for taking the time to show the world how to save a lot of money!
I’m glad to hear it worked for you! Thanks for the positive feedback!
Just had this happened today, last week my 2013 Flex died backing out of the driveway. I just thought since it was cold it was a fluke, drove it since no issues, today died 50 times. Would start right up and die, start and die. Watched your video. Thanks for the socket sizes and how to take the panel off! New part fixed the issue! Thank you sir! Keep the flex videos coming!
