Codes

Anyone know what a 542 code needs to be fixed. I had a guy put a scanner on the truck (92 F-150) and is gave us a 542 code.

542 is Fuel Pump Circuit failure - are your fuel pumps working?

It looks to me that there is no power to the fuel pump. put I have checked all the fusers and relays and shutoff switch. thats why I had a guy scan it. If the fule pump is bad should you still get power back to the plug for the fuel pump?

Yes, you should. Have you checked the dash switch? That's what routes power to the individual fuel pumps.

Even if you have a single tank, there is a jumper block inside the dash that takes the place of the dash switch.
