Ford Tempo The Ford Tempo is an American-built two-door coupe and four-door sedan produced by the Ford Company from 1984 to 1994. It was the successor to the Ford Fairmont, and was replaced in 1994 by the Ford Contour.

Default 86 Tempo fuel pump relay location?

Please, where is the fuel pump relay location on 86 Tempo. Tried new "used" fuel pump. Car still decides when it wants to start. Want to try to throw a new relay at it, but not sure where it is located. Thanks.

It's behind the glove box. I had that problem on my '87 Tempo. It was weird, the wire from the relay to the fuel pump had somehow broken. I had to run a wire from the relay behind the glovebox to the fuel pump connector, under the car. Fun times.


Okay...possibly because the genius who owned it previously had the wrong fuel pump installed, and it eventually burned out the wire. He probably had the wrong fuse to compensate, I don't know. I have the right fuel pump in now, and as a bonus, the fuel gauge started working. It's a tragic comedy.
