Fuel Pump Module Recall

[ZSHO]

The SHO is a piece of cake to find and replace the (FDM) while the MKS is more of a pita which needs to be accessed through the trunk.  Z

I did a 3.7 non-ecoboost mks about a month ago and got it through the backseat.  Not sure if the ecoboost mks is any different. Haven't had to replace mine yet.

Do your rear seats fold down?  Mine do not.  Two choices with my MKS were remove the back seat or lay in the trunk and access through a small opening.  It was not easy to get to.

They don't.  First you need to remove the lower half of the rear seats.  There are these two hooks that need to be pushed back to remove that section of the seats.  Then you'll have access to a few bolts by the seat belt buckles that loosen the upper part of the rear seat.  Loosen them up and just fold that upper section down and you'll have access to the fuel pump module.

It was fairly easy the first time around figuring out where everything was.  I could probably do it again in like 20 minutes now that i know where everything is.

Was replaced by warranty not recall. Smelled of propane and whined under medium acceleration. Fluid was low thick and dirty.

20,000 miles later I changed to Amsoil and added a pigtail on the vent tube to make changing a breeze.
