Where is the Fuel pump reset button on a 1986 Ford Bronco II V6?

There is no fuel pump reset button on a 1986 Ford Bronco II V6 (or virtually any vehicle). Fuel pumps are either controlled by the engine computer or a simple inertia switch (which cuts power in a crash). If your fuel pump isn't working, the problem is likely one of the following:

* Blown fuse: Check your owner's manual for the fuel pump fuse location and check its condition.

* Inertia switch: This switch is a safety device and might have tripped. Locate it (often under the dash or in the engine compartment) and reset it (usually involves pushing or turning a button).

* Fuel pump relay: This relay activates the fuel pump. It might be faulty.

* Fuel pump itself: The pump may have failed.

* Wiring issue: There could be a problem with the wiring to the fuel pump.

* Low fuel: Make sure you actually have fuel in the tank!

You'll need to troubleshoot these possibilities. A mechanic or a detailed repair manual will be helpful in diagnosing the specific problem.
