Hello Guys,

Firts time posting a message.
I'm trying to install a cut-off fuel switch in my '01 x sport, and I need to know which cable (color code) is the one that supplies power to the fuel pump. I live in Dallas TX, and crime is horrible around here, so that switch would let me sleep in peace. Question two: in order to get to the cable, can I acces the fuel pump from inside the truck (under the seat or carpet) or do I have to unmount the gas tank?

Any help would be appreciated!.

thanks.
 






Instead of putting the switch in the power line to the fuel pump, you would be better off tapping it into the ignition wire that activates the fuel pump relay. I can't remember where the relay is on the newer X, but someone else here might be able to piont you in the right direction. Once you find the relay, it should have 4 wires connected to it. There should be a constant hot, ignition hot, ground and power out wires. Using a test light find the ignition hot wire and install your switch inline on that circuit.
 






thanks for your info "mrboyle" i might work on it this weekend
