Hi- I have a 1993 ford explorer sport 4x4. I also have a summer car. I have let the explorer sit for 2 months and now it won't start, even off a new battery. I'm not hearing a fuel pump like I used to on my mustangs of the same year range- do your guys' pumps whine? I think that may be the problem. I also noticed a dead weasel under the hood and am going to look for chewed wires again but so far all wires seem ok. Funny but true- don't know where that sucker came from. The last time I drove it I ran it low on gas so I put 3 gallons in it with a can a few days ago. This has been a pretty reliable truck before this and i'd like to get at least one more season out it- I like the 4x4 come winter! Is there a relay for the fuel pump on a 1993 v6? chiltons book is unclear on that.

Yes there is a relay.

It is in a black box under the hood over one of the wheel well's.

You can swap the fuel pump relay with the a/c relay to see if it will start.

And yes you should here the fuel pump start as soon as you turn the key.

Had the same problem on my 94 about a year ago. As said above, the relay is in a "Fuse" box on mine located on the passenger side of the engine compartment. If I remember right it was about a $10 part. I first swapped it out with the abs sensor to check and after driving for a few hours the abs light came on telling me the relay was faulty.

I went out and switched the relays- no luck. crawled under truck and tapped on fuel tank just for a try- no go. looks like I need a new fuel pump.

heres a pic of my truck. only mods are clarion cd/mp3 deck, replaced all speakers with clarions, aluminum mesh DIY grille insert (no fears of rock salt this winter), armrest delete, replaced wilderness a/t's with generic "custom 428"s, pushbutton 4x4 delete- I select which drive I want with vise grips:) Autozone "super turbo" exhaust. dead rodent under hood. reese hitch.

needs fuel pump, rear window seal, brakes, front ball joints and a tune up.

I did a quick look and didn't see any other wires that looked chewed. I do not know how to check for relay power- I read something of it but don't remember :(

here's a pic of the dead weasel- my friends on another forum wanted to see it.

He got his. If you have a test light or a meter see if there is voltage where the fuel pump relay go's with the key on.Test it for positive with the other wire grounded to the battery negitive.
