To replace the fuel pump/sending unit assembly, start by relieving the fuel pressure and disconnecting the negative battery terminal. Remove the
Fuel Tank or access cover from the trunk floor pan, depending on the model year. The assembly is held in place by a cam lock ring mechanism. Unlock the assembly by turning the inner ring clockwise or tapping the lock ring counterclockwise. Carefully remove the assembly from the tank, being cautious of the fuel level float and sending unit. Check the condition of the rubber O-ring and replace if necessary. Inspect and clean the filter on the fuel pump. If needed, separate the fuel pump and sending unit, being careful not to damage the rubber insulator and fuel strainer. To install, position the rubber gasket around the tank opening and guide the assembly into the tank. Turn the inner lock ring counterclockwise until the locking cams are engaged. Finally, reinstall the fuel tank or the fuel pump access cover.
