I am so proud of myself!! I thank you for this video. I replaced my son's fuel pump today and got his Escape back up and running. It had been sitting for over 3 months because of this fuel pump. After watching this video, I felt like I could attempt to do this job on my own.

[@sapphirejan2040]

I ordered the part from you as well.

[@gummagram123]

Thank you...my husband and I were able to replace the fuel pump ourselves saving lots of money and time....

[@stephenbutler6166]

i have a 2002 tribute and these instructions were direct, easy to follow and to the point... i replaced the pump in 45 min... i also purchased the pump from 1A Auto Parts and all is well... i would highly recommend purchasing their parts in the future...

[@1AAuto]

+Stephen Butler Thank you for your feedback and your business!

[@brilligandbabblez7585]

Perfect. Succinct and clear. Old pump out, new pump in. Mazda started like it was anxious to go somewhere... Good job guys.

2004-2007 Escapes with onboard vapor recovery are a little different. There is only one line coming out of the pump and another thicker line with a sensor that passes over it, but does connect to it. The line fitting to the pump has a different style green and black clip. Squeeze the tabs and lift the green clip up. The clip only pops up, it does not come out of the line. The line can then be slid off. The other line with sensor can be pushed out of the way while pulling the module out. The lock ring will be metal and flatter, but still can be removed with a hammer and flathead screwdriver. Make sure you are not hitting the tank, as the ring is much thinner than the plastic one in the video. When you start lifting the pump out you will notice it is attached to the bottom of the tank. Reach in with your fingers (wear rubber gloves to keep the fuel off of you) and squeeze the 2 clips on either side of the top of the module and pull. It will then lift out. Pay attention to which way it was oriented. Go slowly so you don't bend the float rod. Overall its very similar to the video, one less pump connection to undo, a somewhat different lock ring and the pump module that has 2 clips that hold it in place. Even my Haynes manual didn't mention this other option and slightly different procedure.

[@boomerguy9935]

Great info! My 2008 Escape 3.0 V6 has the Gen 2 body but I think the engine and drive train are Gen 1. Did Ford have a transition during 2008?

[@chrisdavid9626]

if it helps i found that a drum brake tool will spread far enough to hook on to the ring and really help get the ring loose by yourself

[@richardlewczykjr1022]

Replacing the two nearby evap hoses should be part of the job as my daughter's 2003 Mazda tribute hoses are rotten and leaky...

[@davidson46100]

You could add that if installing during low temperatures it is a good idea to warm the screw on retainer in boiling water before installing. I was unable to get mine on until I did that. Went on easy when warmed thoroughly.

[@doyleholloway1818]

they make it look easy but reinstalling the screw ring back on straight is very hard to do...

[@leahjacobs2346]

Which relay needs to be taken out besides the #20

[@lboogie3595]

Thank you so much. Gotter did!!

[@user-jp4nu7ru7w]

The second wire you undid when I did my fuel pump it was already unplugged and I can't find it how do I find the wire that plugs into it please help someone

[@MikefromMOMichaelTurner227]

Good vidio help..and thank u for parts recommendation

[@mannyc2176]

Thank you for the video. I finished installing the new fuel pump and sending unit. Everything else is connected except for the harness. For the life of me, I can't reconnect them.

[@oscarh1697]

Try Greaseing them

[@Heinz-Kissvelvet]

Does a 2006 mercury mountaineer have a easy access door/panel?

[@cllyde]

Is it possible to replace the fuel level sending unit without replacing the fuel pump?

[@1AAuto]

+cllyde Thank you for checking us out. On most applications this is possible, however it is easier to replace the sending unit and fuel pump as a complete assembly. 1aauto.com

[@gerardsullivan5441]

Great video, is this about the same process for a 2011 escape 2.5L replacing the fuel pump? Can't find much information on the 2011 model. Thanks!

[@1AAuto]

+Gerard Sullivan The procedure for your vehicle may be different than the one shown in our video. 1aauto.com

[@1BYEBYE1]

I paid $750 to have this done. I feel like an idiot now

[@shaunbasham4763]

Approximately how long should this job take start to finish in real time? im not a professional mechanic but I do have a decent knowledge of automotive technology.

[@1AAuto]

Well that's really going to depend on how experienced you are with automotive mechanics. That said, Ford has done a great job of making this a very serviceable part, so it probably won't take you much longer than an hour or two even if you have no prior automotive experience. Good luck!

[@dkallen7715]

same procedure for a 2005 ford explorer? 6 cylinder non 4x4 with 3rd row seating

[@1AAuto]

The process may be a little different on your application. We will keep this vehicle in mind for future videos. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

[@b.t.2057]

Is it possible to just replace the fuel sending unit or do you have to replace the whole pump?

[@1AAuto]

+B. T. It might be possible to replace just the sending unit. We currently only carry the complete assembly that includes the fuel pump and the sending unit. Here is a link to them on our website. Hope this helps you out goo.gl/JnQ2Kg

[@zuly2258]

My ford escape turns off when the temp needle goes halfway I Google it and it says it might be fuel pump 🤞 hopefully it is so I can replace it on my own

[@garyglitz1977]

While removing old fuel pump, crack the lock ring. bought new ring from dealer, it does not want to screw down and appears to be to small. check dealer, part number matches what they gave me. Anyone ever have trouble getting lock ring to tighten down?

[@1AAuto]

+Gary Glitz Thanks for the great tip!

[@renragged]

My 2003 Escape only has 2 connectors... One of the connectors from underneath the metal cover is nowhere to me found. Is that normal? Or is the missing connector my fuel pump's problem? I don't want to replace it if the new one won't work without that connector.

[@imthemistermaster]

I'm in the same situation, that round 2 pin connector? I can't find anything on it, that's why I'm here. Did you ever figure out where it went?

[@joelwoods345]

can anyone tell me where the fuel pump driver module is located on a 2001 mercury sable 24 valve dohc

[@leorodriguez908]

is this the same for 2001 Mazda tribute?

[@1AAuto]

+Leo Rodriguez Yes, the process is very similar. For anyone else looking to replace their fuel pump and sending unit module, 1A Auto sells the part here: www.1aauto.com/2001-04-ford-escape-mazda-tribute-electric-fuel-pump-and-sending-unit-module/i/1afpu01085?KZbin&CTA%20Comment&ATony

[@oscar-sp1ei]

Before you change your fuel pump, make sure that the fuel pump shot-off on the front right door just below glove box might of gotten triggered, just press it in again..

[@j.a.mcbean.4043]

Thanks

[@1AAuto]

+Dr.James A McBean You're welcome!

[@LogicallyInsane1]

Would this part work on a 2006 mercury Mariner? The top of the fuel pump looks identical to this. I just haven't actually pulled it out.

[@man-techautomovtive5114]

If I'm not mistaking it has a metal lock ring.

[@LogicallyInsane1]

Man-Tech Automovtive I pulled the cover today and looked. It does have the metal lock thing. How does that thing come off? Thanks in advance

[@tech_mando4952]

That seems easy enough

[@1AAuto]

+The Colbster Thanks for checking us out!

[@Joetrout]

What about a 2011 mkx

[@antoniogallegos4846]

what about 2003 mountaineer

[@kingspoon2972]

Is this the same process for the 07 explorer ???

[@1AAuto]

+King Spoon Thank you for checking us out. The process should be similar, but sizing or slight orientation differences may be present in your Explorer. 1aauto.com

[@MarioPerez-yi2tw]

@@1AAuto Is this the same process for the 2004 Ford Explorer?

[@1AAuto]

Thanks for checking us out! We currently do not have an auto repair video specific to your vehicle. You might be able to apply some of the basic steps shown in this video to your application. Hope this helps you out +Sergio Perez

@A1AutoParts does a 2006 mercury mountaineer have this?

This video is applicable to your 2006 Mountaineer. Thanks for checking us out! + Rich

how about on a 2006 f150

+Big D We currently do not have an auto repair video on how to change the fuel pump on this particular vehicle. We'll keep this request in mind if we need to make this repair in the future. Have a great day 1aauto.com

I think most modern cars if you gonnna replaced a fuel pump you don't have to take the whole take down
