where is my fuel pump relay?

[nathan.chapek]

I have a 1994 Escort 1.9 ltr. I have no power going to the fuel pump and I cannot find the fuel pump relay? Any help would be great!

Check the fuel pump switch "inertia switch" located behind a panel L/H side of trunk. Push the reset buttom on top of the switch and try it again.

Would this (the location) be the same for a '93 escort 1.9L?

I believe they are in the same location, some of the panels have a removable rubber plug for easy access to the reset button on top of the inertia switch.
These switches 'pop' more often than pump relay's fail, so I wanted them to try this remedy first.

Thanks a lot for the help. For my '93 the location ended up being on the passenger side in the trunk. Unfortunately it ended up being the timing belt that was causing the problem. Several teeth (about 9) had been stripped off in one place. I'm guesing it must have stopped right around the crankshaft sprocket (when the car stopped) so that when it tried to start it just spun inside the belt, without moving it.
