I bought my 95 Bronco 4x4 XLT 351 from a local shop that aquired it from a customer who never returned to pick it up. It sat in there yard with the rear window down for around 2 years. The service manager that sold it to me didnt work there when the truck was first brought in so all he could tell me was it ran but there was a problem with the transfer case and they didnt want to work on a 4x4.

The truck was flatbeded to my house, where I then noticed the trnsfer case was not even attached as the fluid spewed all over the tow truck and driveway.I then had the tank sucked compleatly dry and I refiled with new gas, I put in a new Battery and topped off all the fluids. When I hit the key it turned over smoothly but never fired. There is spark but no fuel. I do not hear the fuel pump at any stage of the key turn. I was unable to find an inerta fuel cut of switch and my relays are not labled so I hit a dead end there. There are also 2 open spaces in the relay box in the engin compartment that could have been taken and donated to another car. Or who knows what may have bene done while it sat in that yard. Any info would be greatly apreciated. Thanks in advance for any help.

According to my Haynes manual the power distribution box under the hood has positions for five relays

They aren't numbered, but in one direction or the other they are

1. trailer battery charge, 4wabs, fog light

2. trailer marker lamps

3. horn relay

4. fuel pump relay

5. PCM power relay

Here's a little ditty I put together on how to test a relay

IT sounds to me that you have a pretty good idea of how to troubleshoot this.

FYI, there is a single pump in the tank, of course it is fused. I had squirrels eat through my wires to the pump in my motor home a few years back. S ocheck for both 12 volts and a good ground back there.

You should have approx 35 lbs at the rail, and a clean fuel filter.

Have fun

joe
