Location of fuse for the fuel pump on a 1997 Chevy s10 truck 4.3l?

The fuel pump fuse for a 1997 Chevy S10 4.3L is typically not a standalone fuse. Instead, the fuel pump relay controls the power to the fuel pump. You'll find the relay in the underhood fuse box. The exact location within the box varies slightly depending on trim level and options, but it's usually clearly labeled. Look for a relay labeled "Fuel Pump" or something similar.

To be certain:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best source for the precise location of your relays and fuses.

2. Check the underhood fuse box diagram: The inside of the fuse box cover should have a diagram showing the location of each fuse and relay. This diagram will usually use a number or symbol to identify the fuel pump relay.

Important Note: While there's likely no dedicated fuel pump *fuse*, some circuits related to the fuel pump (like the inertia switch) *might* have a fuse that's part of a larger circuit. Again, your owner's manual is the best place to find this information. If the pump isn't working, checking the relay is the first step, and then checking the fuses related to the fuel system (if any).
