Help Please

My husband is having trouble with his truck. Does anyone know where the fuel pump module is located on a dual fuel tank 88 ford f150? Also any ideas? It wont start, fuel pump was checked and is good. What could it be?

Does the engine turn? i mean, does it make any noise trying to start when you turn the key? if it does, that would point at an electrical problem, first option would be the starter relay. Just for fun, if it's an auto, tell him to try starting it in Neutral.

It does try to start and sometimes will, he got it going last night. Thing is if you do get it started it only wants ta start once then give you heck. He said he was poking around in the relay switch area under the hood an the wires around it i do believe and then it started (not sure if thats why or if it just felt like startin for a mn). My concern is he thinks he has it figured out one mn then the next it wont start an I have ta go get him. Any ideas???

I would take a real good look at the relay connectors by drivers side hood hinge. they fail,napa is where i found replacments were about 12 bucks each. I personally would change both relay and its plug.
