A few days

Hi, I'm one of the auto experts on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Sorry to hear that you are having car issues. A crank, no start is always frustrating! Since you are not hearing the fuel pump come on, that points toward a few likely causes. You could have a failed fuel pump, a faulty fuel pump relay, a bad inertia safety switch (Ford vehicles have a fuel shutoff inertia switch that can trip after a bump or impact), or a wiring/fuse issue in the fuel pump circuit. The good news is that Ford's inertia switch is a quick and easy thing to check first—it's usually located in the trunk or kick panel area and simply needs to be reset by pressing a button. It's worth a look before anything else! Also worth checking is the fuel pump fuse and relay in the fuse box, as these are inexpensive and easy to inspect. That said, if those quick checks don't resolve it, further diagnosis really requires a professional with the right tools to test the fuel pump, check wiring, and confirm the root cause. A qualified technician can get to the bottom of it quickly and have you back on the road safely!
