Where is the fuel pump reset switch on a Chrysler new yorker 1989?

The 1989 Chrysler New Yorker doesn't have a fuel pump reset switch in the traditional sense like some cars might have for a fuel pump inertia switch. The fuel pump system is controlled by the onboard computer and various safety sensors. If your fuel pump isn't working, the problem is far more likely to be a faulty pump, a blown fuse, a bad relay, wiring issues, or a problem with the fuel pump control module (within the computer).

Instead of looking for a reset switch, you should:

1. Check the fuses: Consult your owner's manual to locate the fuel pump fuse and check if it's blown. Replace it if necessary.

2. Check the fuel pump relay: Locate the fuel pump relay (again, consult your owner's manual). You may be able to swap it with a similar relay to test it (if you have one readily available).

3. Check for power at the fuel pump: This requires some basic electrical testing with a multimeter. You'll need to access the fuel pump's wiring harness (usually located near the fuel tank) and check for power when the ignition is turned on. Caution: Work on fuel systems is dangerous. If you're not comfortable with automotive electrical work, take your car to a qualified mechanic.

4. Professional Diagnosis: If you've checked fuses and relays and still have no fuel pump operation, it's best to have a qualified mechanic diagnose the problem. They have the tools and expertise to pinpoint the issue (a faulty fuel pump, wiring harness issues, etc.) more efficiently and safely.

In short, there's no reset switch; you need to troubleshoot the system to find the actual cause of the fuel pump malfunction.
