Thank you for the information. I would like to add that you can reach these relays by removing the panel under the steering and the heater duct. Then reach up from under. A small mirror helps to put back the relay if you remove all of them.
Thank you for making this video, it was the problem my truck had too but mine started running really rough before it quit in my yard. Went and got the relay you said and boom it was fixed. We didn't have a book so this saved me so much, thanks again!
Wanted to say your video was bang on as far as where the relay is located and how to get to it. The truck I'm working on is an 2001 5.4L but this video allowed me to get the job done. Thank you.
Been looking for that fuel pump relay on my truck for a minute today. Damn. Looked all over. I was gonna jumper a hot wire to the socket to run the pump continuous to drain the last 10 gallons of diesel out the tank but not doing it like that. To hard to reach that socket. Now I'll just hook a 12 volt jump box direct to the pump. Gotta replace the Motorcraft PS176 fuel level sender as it has a spot in the middle where it has extreme high resistance and makes my fuel gauge read full, till I burn the fuel load down below that point. Kind of annoying, so I will make factory fresh new again.
Actually, I discovered, the hard way, one of those relays is the Low Voltage Relay which protects the PCM should the system voltage supply drop below the prescribed amount. It will then shut the electrical input off completely to the protected items. The truck WILL NOT start, period.
Great job buddy 👏🏾 And thanks so much for showing us about that funny little relay. I have a 99' 5.4 and a 04' 6.0 and I am always doing maintenance on both of them. Take buddy and good luck with your truck, runs great now 👌🏾
Just wanted to let you know without your help and video I probably won’t have found the relay so I bought one and whola up and running and it’s starting without doing the whole battery cable thing thanks brother
Seems cold solder joints on backside of fusebox causes by relay running hot. External relay solution. I did not do any of that. Put the fuel pump on switch inside truck.
I just pulled the speedometer cover off along with the radio came with it reach my hand in there and took the relay out and have their new one in within 5 minutes
Tengo una camioneta 2000 f 250 7.3 le puse el relay y el fusible que usted indico nuevos, también le puse los dos relay que están detrás del radio pero aun no llega la corriente a la bomba de petróleo , usted me pudiera ayudar, tengo 73 años estoy retirado y no lo puedo llevar a un taller, gracia
I'm currently having this issue with my 1999 F350 7.3. It's a buzzing noise that mine is making and when the sound goes away, she cranks up but when it's buzzing I get nothing. Ive replaced the 2 relays there for the pump relay and the trailer. Starting to wonder should I replace the 2 fuses under the hood too....
Where is the buzzing coming from, the fuel pump? Sounds like a possible bad ground. You can check power at the inertia switch when your having the no start. I think pink and blue wire is power there
So ive been having the same issues and I did what you explained in your video, great job by the way. Very detailed. Unfortunately that didn't work and I'm still having the same issues. Any suggestions on where to start next?
Hi brother good video I’m sort of hoping I’m in the same situation I’ve had no problems with mine it’s a 2001 7.3 the other day of course trying to go to work no start the pump seems fine but if I remove the cables from batteries and put them back it starts right up hahah and it keeps happening
Does it crank? Have you tried starting in neutral? If you can hear the pump prime with key on, you should be good there. Check volts on batteries and check alternator when running and make sure everything is charging properly. And check for power at the starter
Best of luck hope you get it up and running. I got my stereo from a local place to me called stereo warehouse. It’s a Pioneer avh-220ex, solid head unit. 👍
@audioface420 my mechanic says it's the non serviceable relay. I reckon I'll be bypassing that or putting in a new fuse box. Thanks. Minus well bullet proof this thing while I'm at it
@@miguelgutierrez4609 take 2 wires with alligator clips on each end, connect them to the + and - on the car battery and the other ends clip on the small outer terminals of the relay, and you should hear the relay make a clicking sound.
Run power from the battery ( + & - ) directly to the pump, with the key in the on position. If you don’t hear the pump start to prime, the pump is probably dead.
@@miguelgutierrez4609 make sure you have a clean fuel filter and oil level is full. If you think the problem is fuel related, next step would be to test the fuel pressure that the heads.
You dont have to take that all apart like that. And this relay is actually cheeper to buy from midway ford truck center. The cheep auto part stores dont last.
Thank you very much for taking the time to post this. You helped alot getting my early 99 off the side of the road in middle of the night!
That is awesome, I’m glad it helped! 🍻

Awesome man, that’s great to hear you got it fixed 👍
Good job with your diagnosis and your video. Drinking beer makes you smarter!
Appreciate you watching bro, beer helps the diagnoses 😂
I call em tech manuals haha

Thank you, sir. I have been searching for this relay on and off for 6 months
Idk why they put it in such a weird place lol. Glad you found it 👍
Thank you for the video, had the no start issue with missing wait to start light. Relay fixed it up.
Thank you very much for this video. I replaced the flasher relay last year so now I know where the fuel one is.
Excellent, Thank you for watching

The only video or mention I have found on this relay. Had the same issue. Now I don't. Thank you so much.

Epic, glad it helped
As an aside....The front windshields tend to develop a leak around the seal and rain water cause several short issues.
yeah! Nice! Straight and to the point too. Thank you, sir.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM
Awesome, glad it helped
Thank you for sharing that , It will come in handy If that happens to my 7.3
Good video, excellent job explaining everything
Hope it helps👍
Seems cold solder joints on backside of fusebox causes by relay running hot. External relay solution. I did not do any of that. Put the fuel pump on switch inside truck.
My relay in the dash goes crazy clicking when I crank it sometimes- it won't start when it does that
I just pulled the speedometer cover off along with the radio came with it reach my hand in there and took the relay out and have their new one in within 5 minutes
5.4 2001 thanks for the help

Great video
Thank you sir👍
I have a 02 7.3l i heard the relay is behind the fusebox & non serviceable. What should i do in this condition?
you have to replace the fuse panel and it is quite expensive
What is the blue item above the fuel pump relay?
He said blue is flasher and below them is trailer brake
Thanks...good work. Haven't had that problem yet!

Replace the 30 amp fuse at the bottom in the fuse box under your dash
Did you ever figure out the problem...I'm having the same buzzing from under the dash.
So ive been having the same issues and I did what you explained in your video, great job by the way. Very detailed. Unfortunately that didn't work and I'm still having the same issues. Any suggestions on where to start next?
You end up figuring out what’s wrong
How did you determine it was behind the radio?

Going to tear into mine tomorrow. Hopefully this fixes it. I do have 1 question. Where did you get that stereo? I need a new one.
Best of luck hope you get it up and running. I got my stereo from a local place to me called stereo warehouse. It’s a Pioneer avh-220ex, solid head unit. 👍
Will this resolve the issue of your truck just cutting off after a minute or two after firing up?
I don’t think so, the relays either work or they don’t. I would dig into fuel or oil pressure, possibly icp sensor for your issue
@audioface420 my mechanic says it's the non serviceable relay. I reckon I'll be bypassing that or putting in a new fuse box. Thanks. Minus well bullet proof this thing while I'm at it
That'd probably be cam sensor or in tank fuel filter
@vietmanesemechanic6331 it was a damn fuel relay 🤦🏾♂️ we just bypassed the relay
Damn 520k miles?
Original relay?
I had the same issue no power to fuel pump replaced the blue relay and black relay fixed my problem.
What's the part number my 99 same thing
Can’t remember the part #, I just picked up the relay from oreillys
Thanks for sharing.
Dose you port to do a diagnostic now
Yes it started working again after I jumped the fuel pump to start the truck. I'm not sure why it wasn't working.
How do you test the relays ?
@@miguelgutierrez4609 take 2 wires with alligator clips on each end, connect them to the + and - on the car battery and the other ends clip on the small outer terminals of the relay, and you should hear the relay make a clicking sound.
I tried pouting 12 volt on pump but did not work
Run power from the battery ( + & - ) directly to the pump, with the key in the on position. If you don’t hear the pump start to prime, the pump is probably dead.
The pump dose run when I connect the power but truck dose not tern on
@@miguelgutierrez4609 make sure you have a clean fuel filter and oil level is full. If you think the problem is fuel related, next step would be to test the fuel pressure that the heads.
@@powerstrokepatriot5480 what about a 99 where is the rely found there ?
@@allfamilyimportanddomestic8508 the truck in the video is a 99.
Hey brother did the "wait to start" light come back on?
check the fuel pump reset button.
That wasn’t it on mine.
You dont have to take that all apart like that. And this relay is actually cheeper to buy from midway ford truck center. The cheep auto part stores dont last.
Mine started with and without that relay i dont think thats a fuel pump relay if it was y my truck start lol
You can just remove the radio Nothing else and this can be done
Aye thanks Clint !
Question. Will this relay cause your truck to shut off after running for maybe 5min?
Not stalking you, but absolutely love your channel Sir.
@@crandallscooking I am having the same as you you are so it runs for 5 seconds and turns off. Do you have any luck
@@stevenchapman5810 haven't gotten to it yet
Yo no se inglés pero mi hija si , ella me puede traducir gracias
It’s probably your computer fuse your OBD two fuse
It looks bad to me
