Ah balls!

 

Looks like its the pump then. If you wanted to fully cover the bases and make sure 100%, hook up a 12v supply to the pump terminals. This will rule out any chance that the plug may not be making contact, although I guess it will still not work, it'd be nice to know before removing the whole tank to find it is alright.

If its working fine now, then I would leave it. Do bare in mind if there is a really cold spell or that, you could wake up and find the battery has completely died and will need replacing with a Silver Calcium one.

Sorry fella, was hoping Ford would've used sense across the board. Although a pump isn't a serviceable item, access to it is never a bad idea.

Best of luck, post back how you get on.

I would do the same but on either side of the fuel filter (I think this is underneath the car).

If there's pressure before, but not after, blocked filter, if there's no flow at all, fuel pump.

I only know from mk2 Mondeos but is the fuel sender/ pump under the rear bench? If its like a Mondeo, get a screw driver and hammer and bash the castellated but anti-clockwise and pull out the sender/pump.

You used to be able, now can't any more. From the MK2 onwards.

It's a shame as it was quite a handy thing to be able to do. I know it's not everyday you need a new key, but being safe in the knowledge that its not going to cost more than about £30 to replace one if you should lose one/ require another key.

When I first got on the road in my mums Mondeo, I programmed three of them as it was like the family steed, me, my sister, mum and dad each had a key plus a spare.
