Is there a fuse for fuel pump on 1989 Lincoln town car?

While there's not a dedicated fuel pump fuse in the traditional sense, the fuel pump's circuit is protected by multiple fuses in a 1989 Lincoln Town Car. Here's how it usually works:

* The Fuel Pump Relay: The fuel pump's power is controlled by a relay, not a fuse. This relay is typically located in the under-hood fuse box.

* Fuses Related to the Fuel Pump Relay: Several fuses are related to the operation of the fuel pump relay itself:

* The "Engine Control Module (ECM)" fuse: This fuse powers the ECM which controls the relay.

* The "Ignition" fuse: This fuse powers the ignition system, and the ECM also relies on it.

* The "Fuel Pump Relay" fuse (sometimes labeled "FP Relay"): This fuse directly protects the relay's circuit.

Finding the Fuses:

1. Locate the Under-Hood Fuse Box: It's typically found near the battery.

2. Consult the Owner's Manual: Your owner's manual will have a fuse diagram with locations and amperages.

3. Look for the Appropriate Fuses: Search for the fuses mentioned above based on the diagram.

Important Notes:

* Fuel Pump Relay Check: If you suspect a fuel pump issue, inspect the fuel pump relay itself for signs of damage or corrosion.

* Professional Assistance: If you're not comfortable working with electrical systems, seek assistance from a qualified mechanic.

Always disconnect the battery before working on electrical systems in your vehicle to avoid the risk of electrical shock.
