Bronco fuel pump nightmare
Hey,
My fuel pump grew louder and louder, then one day it died. I forked out the $150 for the new one, and after plenty of frustration got it in. It works fine and was quiet as could be. Just now tonight I decided to make a late run the the store, and as I turned the key, I heard the familiar weeeee-uuuuuu of the fuel pump starting up. This sound had disappeared when the new pump was put in. So I walked behind the truck and can hear the pump running again, not as loud as when the old one failed, maybe 50%, but thats how it started last time.
Should I be freaking out here or what???? There's no way I'll be sleeping tonight. Let me know what you think, or have experienced.
thanks

Another little suggestion. Locate the fuel pump relay and check the terminals for any signs of corrosion. A poor connection due to corrosion could cause the motor to pull higher amps, run a little harder and warmer, and shorten the life of the pump.
