Hello all,

Did a search for this but could not find anything specific to 91-94 Explorers. I found a 91 Explorer 4x4 that the owner claims worked fine before, but now the fuel pump is not getting power. He only shows one photo and it looks like it has hit a pole with the front bumper (grille is not affected) so I am thinking that the inertia switch just needs to be reset. My question is, where is it on this style Explorer? Considering he only wants $600 for it, I think it would be a steal at that price even if it turns out to be something other than the switch.

Here is the ad: Ford Explorer 1991

It might be as simple as a tripped inertia switch or a fuse, but if not, I don't know that I'd say $600 is "a steal" for a 1991 non-running Explorer.... The ad doesn't say how well it ran before.

The inertia switch will either be behind the passenger side kick panel or in the rear behind a cover of the cargo area. I don't recall any other locations that Ford has used over the years. If it's actually a wiring short, then you're looking for a blown fuse rather than an inertia switch since, when working, the inertia switch IS a short circuit. Yeah, I'm just getting picky.

Thanks for the info. If I cannot get it running, I can always use it as a parts donor for the 94. The ad does say it has current tags, so it runs well enough to pass smog.
