Where is the fuel pump switch on a 1997 ford explorer?

The 1997 Ford Explorer doesn't have a fuel pump *switch* in the traditional sense like an on/off toggle. The fuel pump is controlled by the computer (Powertrain Control Module or PCM). There's no separate switch you can flip to turn it on or off.

The fuel pump is activated and deactivated by the PCM based on various factors, including the ignition switch position, engine speed, and other sensor inputs. If you're having fuel pump issues, you'll need to diagnose the problem using a scan tool to check for codes or testing the pump and its related circuitry. A faulty relay, a bad fuel pump itself, or a problem with the PCM are all possibilities.
