Sounds about right! I'm too far away to go do it so that just proves geography CAN really be your best friend. I think he has someone, close by, that may be able to look at it and possibly do it in the next few weeks. I agree with wiring or bad pump. Too bad as I am told it is a Motorcraft pump with little mileage but 5-10 years since replaced. He did mention he was looking at a Delphi replacement as opposed to a "Autozone special". I didn't see a Duralast one available but only Delphi and Trugrade (whatever that is). I'll keep everyone here updated as the saga goes on. Poor guy has a hospital stay coming up in the next day or so - Hopefully, someone can help him out. I'm getting too old to be dropping tanks or trying to get it all done without dropping the tank! I know on the later GM's you can do it without dropping the tank but not sure on a '95!What I Own: 1993 Mercury Grand Marquis GS

+1 pump.
There's one last thing to check... the ground on the chassis from that wire harness. Sometimes those come loose. I have no clue where it's located as mine never came loose. It should be on the wire loom going to the tank. Just follow it back towards the front of the car and there should be a bolt holding a ring terminal to the car somewhere for a ground.
+1 Delphi. That's what I just did for my Expedition. Didn't want to deal with the crap senders on the other designs.Last edited by sly; 10-17-2024, 09:36 AM.

Just for curiosity sake, I wonder if you have to drop the gas tank to get to the fuel pump (removal and replacement) or if you can get it from the side passenger rear wheel area like on the later CV's and GM's?What I Own: 1993 Mercury Grand Marquis GS

They changed to the all on one hanger system by 92 I think, so it should be able to come out the front. 80s models had the pump on the rear plate up against the trunk so it wasn't possible. I'm not quite sure what 90-91 models did.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

90+ did the everything on the hanger. So assembly at once.

Yes, so I take it that removal (of the entire assembly) IS possible without dropping the tank?Originally posted by sly View PostWhat I Own: 1993 Mercury Grand Marquis GS
