If it just stopped and no fuel, it might be drop ball solenoid, its what shuts fuel off when you turn off at key, wasn't too expensive on friends one, just am electric magnet he said.

This is what I'm hoping
Did he have to take the pump off to repair ?

Kimbcassa · May 15, 2020

I thought it was a unit at the end on top, the picture that was on thread think it was unit on right, 2 bolts and red yellow black wires. Will ask him to see if his memory better than mine.

Have you got sorted @bobk ? Have you checked to see if the fuel cutoff inertia switch has tripped and turned the fuel off?
Think it’s behind one of the plastic panels in the foot well, has a pop up button on top to rest it.

It hasn't got one Phil ,think that was the yank version , got loads of fuel to the solenoid and nothing through the pump .
Can't find a connector for the ecu plug , it's an odd one .
Stuck

Think the ecu plug is under the bonnet, it’s not obd2 though! I thought there was an inertia reset somewhere though, I’m sure we had one at the airport cut out when they crashed it into something?. I’ll have a look on mine this morning.

Diagnostic connection is on the off side under the bonnet, couldn’t tell you what sort of plug it is though.

Can’t find an inertia switch though so a may have been thinking of the Navara! I have a repair manual on cd somewhere with the wiring diagrams, I’ll have root at dinner see if I can find it.

I’m having a little trouble finding my repair manual cd, must be buried in the bottom of a draw at home somewhere. I’ll have another root tonight.

Phil P · May 23, 2020

@bobk managed to find the manual, I can’t find any reference to an inertia switch so may not be fitted to uk models. I have found how to read the diagnostics though but don’t think it will tell you much. Procedure as follows-
