These are the instructions I have on how to remove/install a fuel pump from a 2001 Expedition. It should be about the same as 97-02, but I'm not guaranteeing anything.

Again, this is for educational purposes only, so I'm not responsible if you break something.

thanks for the post, just went through the car and it turned out that it was a fuse.. crazy how the car was doing exactly the same thing as when the pump went out the first time.

Haha, at least you didn't realise this after dropping the tank, and spending money on a new pump. :D I'll still try to post the install today. No sense having removal instructions if you don't know how to put it it back on :)
