Electric Fuel Pump - Ground Wire Location

Article No. 86-17-3


FUEL PUMP - ELECTRIC - GROUND WIRE LOCATION - 5.0L CFI

FORD 1985 MUSTANG

The 1985 Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual (EVTM) shows the electrical fuel pump ground located at the left hand side of the luggage compartment lock striker bracket. However, approximately 1,500 wiring assemblies (14405) were reworked at production by adding a unique ground wire and eyelet that fastens under the driver's seat. When a bad ground is suspected, both locations should be checked prior to servicing. This information should be added to page 110 of the 1985 Mustang/Capri EVTM.
