Fuel Pump Driver Module Replacement
#31
Actually no just kinda funny to see that on the same package, and why do they pay all that shipping to get them to the U.S. but seeing I work in a body shop a lot of times when you order parts for non us built cars they come with new fasteners. Try taking a bumper off a couple year old Nissan, snap off all the time. I am NOT a supporter of jap cars but that kinda came off wrong in my mind. Like I said this country needs to bring work back home not do it overseas This is not a rant.

Fuel Pump Driver Module
Been owning and driving F-100s and F-150s since the early '70s. Traded in my '02 Crew Cab 4WD for an '08 Crew Cab 4WD with intentions of driving it for about 4 years and then trading down. Haven't had any issues until this morning - wouldn't start - cranked but wouldn't fire.
Had the beast towed to the dealer, told me later in the afternoon that it was the fuel pump driver module - going to cost $450 to replace, and not covered by warranty (why would I buy an extended warranty for a vehicle that I planned on using for four years). Now I read that this module is accessible and costs $140 - I feel betrayed by FMC.

Fuel Pump Driver Module
I plan on sending the module replaced at Quirk Ford to FMC - the part failed in my driveway, and the dealership replaced the module - not covered by warranty - the bill was $455. I took the part to a friend's garage, we cleaned the contacts, plugged it in and the truck started - so glad the mechanic took the time to inspect the part. Anyway - I think it's a load of crap that a 2 year old vehicle would have a part like this fail, and the company wouldn't stand behind it.

Dealerships are individually owned, and all too often Ford catches grief for what the dealer does. Similar thought, you being blamed, for something your sibling(s) do. Not exactly fair, is it ?

If you are willing to put a potential '1:00 AM in the rain, crank no start' in your diagnoses, go for it. You can always sell the module on CL, and recoup part of the cost you paid out.
Check your warranty coverage, could have been an error in billing.
The coverage & exclusions in the paper work would list if electrical items are covered or not ( you make no mention of what kind of extended warranty you have, if it is power train only, no this would not be covered ).

Mine went out on Saturday while crossing the Mackinaw Bridge. That was awesome!
St. Ignace (MI for all you out of state folks) Ford dealer got it right in today and got it fixed. I was shocked that my Ford ESP plan DID NOT cover this item. I will be looking to ensure that its the one pictured above off the frame cross member.
Total damages were 140.00 for towing, and 188.22 for the part/labor from the dealer, so I'm happy with that price, but not the towing portion.

My truck was running rough when I decided to take a look at my FPDM. I took it off and the back had 2 holes in it the size of a quarter and the metal was inside which was probably shorting it out. I live in ohio and every dealer I called has them on order and the soonest they could have me one was july. I couldn't wait that long so I ordered mine off of ebay new for 120 bucks including shipping/tax.

I am in SoCal, a little over 40k on my '04, that has been well kept. I just looked at mine today and it is starting to corrode. I caught it in time, so I cleaned it off and sprayed it with some rustoleum. I am going to go grab some longer bolts and spacers to remount it. I would definitely recommend checking it.

I was told by the local Ford stealership that my FPDM went bad on my '08 with 18,900 miles. Mine still looks brand new, but whatever, I don't have much of a choice but to replace it. Luckily the stealership got a shipment in today and I picked up the part ($113 + tax) and installed my new FPDM in the service parking lot in front of several service techs. I guess time will tell if the failed FPDM was really the problem.
