Fuel Pump
#1
I recently did a full interior and exterior cleaning of my focus (Zx4) and i accidentally pushed the "Fuel Pump reset" button, not realising what it was until i went through my manual....can someone tell me what this will do if i press this?

Thanks :D

I think the button is for to reset the fuel pump. If you get hit really hard, or hit a curb really hard (like I did once) the fuel pump kicks out so that if you were in an accident fuel is not being pumped up to the engine still. The button turns the fuel pump back on after that happens. So I don't think that it should do anything at this point.

Exactly what others said. Its a reset switch fo rthe fuel pump. I hit a pothole a few years ago and my car died. The tow truck dood pushed that button and my car started right up!!
