The fuel pump in a 1996 Chrysler LHS is located inside the fuel tank. To access the fuel pump, you will need to remove the rear seat and then remove the fuel tank. The fuel pump will be located on the top of the fuel tank.
Here are step by step instructions to locate and replace the fuel pump in a 1996 Chrysler LHS:
Step 1: Gather the necessary tools and supplies:
- New fuel pump
- Fuel filter
- Fuel line hose clamp
- Flat-head screwdriver
- Phillips-head screwdriver
- 10 mm socket and wrench
- Rags
- Safety goggles
Step 2: Relieve the fuel pressure in the fuel line.
To do this, turn off the engine and open the fuel tank cap. This will allow the pressure to dissipate.
Step 3: Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
This will help to prevent any sparks while you're disconnecting the wiring from the fuel pump.
Step 4: Remove the rear seat.
The rear seat is typically held in place by a few bolts. Use the Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen the bolts and remove the seat.
Step 5: Remove the fuel pump module.
The fuel pump module is located on the top of the fuel tank. Use the 10 mm socket and wrench to loosen the bolts holding it in place. Then, disconnect the electrical connectors and fuel line. Use a flat-head screwdriver to loosen and remove the fuel line hose clamps.
Step 6: Remove the old fuel pump.
Once you've removed the fuel pump module, you can remove the old fuel pump. It is typically held in place by a few screws. Use the Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen the screws and remove the old fuel pump.
Step 7: Install the new fuel pump.
Slide the new fuel pump into place and secure it with the screws. Replace the fuel line hose clamps and reconnect the electrical connectors.
Step 8: Reinstall the fuel pump module.
Place the fuel pump module back on the fuel tank and secure it with the bolts.
Step 9: Reconnect the battery.
Connect the negative terminal of the battery to the vehicle's chassis.
Step 10: Test the fuel pump.
Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Check for any leaks around the fuel pump. If there are no leaks, the fuel pump replacement is complete.
