Where is the fuel pump relay on a 1992 Ford Tempo?

The fuel pump relay location on a 1992 Ford Tempo is under the hood, in the Power Distribution Box (PDB). This box is usually located near the battery, often on the inner fender well.

However, there's no single definitive answer without knowing the specific engine and options on your Tempo. Some sources place it in the under-hood fuse box, while others specify the Power Distribution Box. Therefore, your best bet is:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source. It should have a diagram showing the location of all relays and fuses.

2. Locate the Power Distribution Box (PDB): Look near the battery for a large box with numerous fuses and relays. The cover should have a diagram printed on it or inside it.

3. Look for a diagram within the fuse/relay box: The diagram should identify the fuel pump relay. It may be labeled "Fuel Pump," "EFI," or have a similar designation. The relay itself will likely be a standard automotive relay – a small square or rectangular component.

4. If you can't find it visually: Use a test light or multimeter to check the power circuit to the fuel pump. This will require some electrical knowledge and caution to avoid electric shock.

Caution: Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working on electrical components in your vehicle to prevent accidental shorts and injury.
