Here's why:
* Safety Concerns: The fuel pump is an essential component, and having a readily accessible switch to disable it could pose a safety risk.
* Electronic Fuel System: 1991 Explorers use an electronic fuel injection system. This means the fuel pump is controlled by the engine control module (ECM) and doesn't have a separate manual switch.
Instead of a physical switch, consider these options:
* Disconnecting the Battery: This will cut off power to the entire vehicle, including the fuel pump. Be sure to follow safety precautions when disconnecting the battery.
* Removing the Fuel Pump Relay: If you need to work on the fuel system, removing the fuel pump relay will interrupt power to the pump. However, it's important to understand that you need to know where the relay is located and follow proper safety procedures.
Important Note: Before performing any work on your vehicle, consult your owner's manual or a reputable repair manual for specific instructions.
Remember, working with fuel systems can be dangerous. It's always recommended to seek the assistance of a qualified mechanic for repairs or modifications.
