This worked for me. Saved a lot of time from doing the trial and error routine.

2000 Ford Explorer Sport intermittent startup - tweaked the relay prongs a tiny bit, and the fuel pump starts every time. Thanks a lot for sharing!

THANK YOU! for posting this.

Most Excellent!

Sometimes, the contacts in the fuse panel are bad and a ground wire will need to be added.

I have a 1995 Ford Ranger with the same problem. I traced problem to the wiring harness from the pcm rubbing on the valve cover between cover and the fire wall. With the key on I found that moving the bundle of wires the fuel pump would come on and off. Hope this helps because I spent a lot of time on this !!!!

had same issue, intermittent not starting. Replaced fuel pump relay, same issue. Replaced ECC relay, and boom, fixed

My 94 3.0 ranger rwd still dies while driving or wont start. I wiggle the relay for the fuel pump and hear a click get in and turn the key and it starts right up. Great Googly-Wooglies this is frustrating.

My explorer had this issue the ground wire under the fuse relay loosed up.

yeup. customer regularly returns for other repairs and it's still working.

the connectors in the fuse box I meant.

Hell yeah thank you man.

hope it works out for you. good luck.
