Locate Fuel Pump Fuse to Change Fuel Pump

Q: I’m trying to change my fuel filter but I can’t find the fuel pump fuse.

A: Skip the fuse. Get under the car and look up under the car just in front of the gas tank. There will be a wire leading into the top of the gas tank. Almost directly above the axle, WAY up there, is a plug in the wire that can be unplugged to disable the pump temporarily. I find this more convenient since you’re under there anyway when you’re changing the filter. It has the same effect as taking out the fuse.
