Where is the fuel fuse for a 1988 Plymouth reliant?

There isn't a single, universally-labeled "fuel fuse" in a 1988 Plymouth Reliant (or most older cars). The fuel system's electrical protection is often handled by more than one fuse or even a circuit breaker, and these are distributed throughout the fuse box(es).

To find the fuse(s) related to the fuel pump and/or fuel injection system, you'll need to:

1. Locate your owner's manual: This is the best place to start. The manual will have a fuse box diagram showing the fuse locations and what each one protects.

2. Find the fuse box(es): Most likely, you'll find a fuse box under the dashboard on the driver's side, and possibly another one in the engine compartment.

3. Examine the fuse box diagrams: Look for fuses labeled with terms like:

* Fuel Pump: This is the most direct labeling you might find.

* EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection): If your Reliant has fuel injection.

* Fuel Injection: Another possible label.

* ECM (Engine Control Module): The ECM controls the fuel system, so a blown fuse here could affect fuel delivery.

4. If you don't have a manual: You can often find a diagram online by searching for "[Year] Plymouth Reliant fuse box diagram." Many automotive websites have these diagrams available. Be sure you are searching for the *correct year*.

Important Safety Note: Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working with fuses or electrical components in your vehicle.

Because the fuse labeling can vary, carefully checking the fuse box diagram is essential to avoid damaging other parts of your vehicle.
