The fuel pump in the 2002 Ford Explorer is located inside the fuel tank on the passenger side. Before checking the fuel pump, you should verify the fuel pump relay's location next to the master cylinder below the fuse box in the engine area. The first sign of a failing pump is typically reduced fuel efficiency. Other indicators may include the engine running hotter than usual or issues with the fuel pressure gauge. If the filter gets clogged with debris, you might notice a burning smell or surging. As the problem worsens, the engine could sputter at high speeds and eventually, the SUV may not start. Replacing the fuel pump in a 2002 Explorer typically costs between $570 and $860, including labor.
