Where is the reset button for fuel pump on a 1989 Camaro RS?

There's no reset button for the fuel pump on a 1989 Camaro RS (or any car, for that matter). Fuel pumps are either on or off, controlled by the car's computer. If you're having fuel pump problems, it's likely a more serious issue than simply needing to press a reset button.

Possible reasons for fuel pump issues that might be mistaken for needing a reset include:

* Blown fuse: Check your fuse box for a blown fuel pump fuse.

* Relay problems: The fuel pump relay might be faulty. Replacing it is often a simple fix.

* Fuel pump failure: The pump itself might be failing due to age or wear.

* Wiring issues: A short circuit or damaged wire in the fuel pump circuit could prevent it from working.

* Inertia switch (if equipped): Some vehicles have an inertia switch that cuts power to the fuel pump in a collision. Check to see if yours has one and if it's tripped. (It would likely be under the dash or in the engine compartment)

* Low fuel: Sounds obvious but ensure there's enough fuel in the tank. The pump could be sucking air.

If your 1989 Camaro RS isn't starting or running properly, you'll need to diagnose the problem systematically, checking fuses, relays, and wiring before considering a fuel pump replacement. A mechanic or detailed repair manual for your specific model year will be helpful.
