Where is the fuel pump fuse on a 2000 ford focus?

The fuel pump fuse location on a 2000 Ford Focus isn't in a single, universally agreed-upon spot across all trim levels and options. There's no single "fuel pump fuse". The fuel pump relay is more commonly involved in fuel pump operation, and the fuse protecting the relay's circuit might be involved in a failure scenario.

To find the correct fuse or relay:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source. The manual will have a diagram showing the fuse box locations and what each fuse controls. Look for a fuse or relay related to the fuel pump, fuel injection, or the engine control module (ECM).

2. Check the under-hood fuse box: This is the most common location for fuses and relays related to engine components. The fuse box cover usually has a diagram printed on the inside.

3. Check the interior fuse box (passenger compartment): Some Ford Focus models also have a fuse box inside the cabin, usually located near the dashboard or under the steering wheel. Again, check the diagram on the cover.

Important Note: A blown fuse is often a *symptom* of a larger problem. Simply replacing a blown fuse without addressing the underlying cause (e.g., a short circuit) can lead to further damage and even a fire. If you find a blown fuse, it's best to have a mechanic diagnose the root cause before replacing it. It may not even be the *fuse* itself that's the problem but the fuel pump relay or the fuel pump itself.
