[QUOTE="Conrad AlbertoJr, post: 1008539, member: 61046"] Thank you for the advice gentlemen. This morning I tried turning the key and couldnt hear the pump. No sound after 2 more key turns. Tried cranking on the 4th time and the battery was dead. Hooked jumper cables up with the wife's car. After a few minutes, I turned the key and heard the pump, but the battery was too weak to crank. It took like 20 minutes of charging before she finally turned on. The battery is old enough that it needs to be replaced, so that's step one. Ill keep listening for the pump after the new battery is in. She has 161,000 miles on her, so the fuel pump going dead wouldnt surprise me. Funny thing is my dad's 02 Explorer had a fuel pump go bad this summer. He only has 75,000 on his. The stereo may have just been a coincidence, its been in the truck for 10 years, but I'll make that a project this weekend. My wife and I had our first child this year, so regrettably I have been neglecting my other baby. [/QUOTE]
