    Fuel Pump Access Panel; Picture heavy

    Getting the panel off if you ever had to change out the fuel pump again would be pretty easy. Remove the screws and use a flat head to pry the panel up breaking the silicon loose. As for the cutting I went slow and was very careful to only let the blade down about a 1/4" max. The access...

    Step Seven Now for the new access hole's new cover. I went to my local U-Pull-It and cut out a panel larger than the hole I cut. This way I had plenty of lip which gave me more room to seal off the access hole. It would probably be a good idea to make this step one that way when the new pump...

    Step Six Replace the fuel pump. Remove the 2 fuel lines from the pump. There is suppose to be a special tool to get the clamps in the end to release. I used a small flat head screwdriver and a lot of wiggling until I got all 4 of the clamps pieces to release. Also the right one spewed on me...

    Step Five Replace the Fuel Pump and pigtail on the wiring harness. I did the pigtail first. The new fuel pump should come with a new upgraded pigtail. I bought a Bosch fuel pump because it was in stock, has a life time warranty, and was not an Airtex (cheap one). The one I pulled out was an...

    Step Three Once the seat is out remove the plastic trim in the door frame. I only had to remove the small middle one and was able to slide the carpet out from under the other trim on the B post and C post. Now you can fold the carpet out of the way to expose the floor pan. The fuel pump is...

    Step Two Once I found the fuel pump's location the next step was to expose the rear floor pan under the back seat. To remove the rear 70% seat there were 7 bolts. If memory serves me 3 are 15mm and 4 are T-45 torx bolts. 6 of the 7 are easy enough to get to, but the upper bolt closest to...

    Step One First step was to locate where the fuel pump was under the rear floor pan. This picture is looking into the rear drivers' side wheel well in front of the tire. The fuel lines helped to narrow it down.

    Hello everyone. Well my fuel pump went out. From what I have read seems to be a common problem. The thought of having to drop the tank in my driveway with limited to no help was not very appealing. Plus the thought of having to pay $400 to $600, that was the quote I got, was even less...
