If you're experiencing fuel delivery problems (car won't start, sputtering, etc.), the issue is likely *not* a simple switch that needs resetting. The problem could be one of several things, including:
* Fuel pump failure: The pump itself may be malfunctioning.
* Fuel pump relay failure: A relay is an electronic switch that controls the pump; it could be faulty.
* Bad fuel pump fuse: A blown fuse will prevent the pump from working.
* Wiring problems: Damaged or corroded wiring can interrupt power to the pump.
* Computer module problem (PCM): The Powertrain Control Module could be faulty and not sending the signal to the fuel pump.
* Low fuel: Sometimes the obvious is overlooked! Check your fuel gauge.
To diagnose the problem, you'll need to:
1. Check the fuel level: Make sure you actually have gas in the tank.
2. Check the fuses: Consult your owner's manual to locate the fuel pump fuse and check if it's blown.
3. Check the fuel pump relay: Locate the fuel pump relay (again, your owner's manual is your friend) and you may be able to swap it with a known good relay of the same amperage to see if that solves the issue.
4. Have a professional diagnose the issue: If you're not comfortable working on your car's electrical system, take it to a mechanic. They have the tools and expertise to properly diagnose and repair the problem.
Trying to "reset" a non-existent switch will not fix a fuel delivery problem. You need to troubleshoot the actual cause of the malfunction.
