One thing that isn t touched upon is galvanic corrosion. This appears to be a pretty classical example of that. Two dissimilar metals and an electrolyte makes a battery. All conditions are met. The iron in the steel and then the zinc alloy of the controller and wet salty roads. Zinc is used as a sacrificial metal to prevent corrosion of the base metals. Example: galvanizing. The zinc is designed to corrode. An engineer should have known that a simple insulator between the controller and the frame would reduce the chances of the housing getting eaten away.

I guess I need to go out and purchase the NAPA insurance policy of the fuel pump module then? Well, they could have potted the module and been immune from the dreaded crusty puss filled module. Nah, never when we can sell parts that rival the cost of the vehicle.
Whatever happened to just a plain Chicom electric fuel pump in the tank and a relay under the hood telling it to pump it's little heart out?

Rotted out fpdm, no never seen that. Does it have the red brake light stuck on too? Never seen that ever either, except on every one!
Seriously though, I've only had to change a few driver modules, but the classic red brake light stuck on seems to plague every one I've seen of this vintage. I have to do a right side exhaust manifold on one of these soon. Is it the nightmare it appears to be?

My 2004 F150 has 265, 000 mile not a single repair until I had my mechanic replace heater core and radiator and all hoses water pump and total tuneup. My brother drove it after I had the work done and took a freeway trip and he said it drove better than his 2019 Ram. By the way it lives South of Atlanta, Georgia, no rust and will run for another 250, 000 miles. Eat your heart New York,

A guy I use to work with was going to replace his fuel pump himself because he thought it was bad. I told him to check the fuel pump module first. Told him where it was at and what to look for on it. Long story short he bought me a 12 pack after work the next day. Said I saved him money and a lot of work.

We've all seen a rotted out fuel pump module at some point.
Coming from the dryest continent on earth i can honestly say no, ive never seen a rotted out fuel pump module. .now electrical wiring so dry and hard that the insulation just crumbles off if you touch it? That i have seen.

Glad to hear you tell it like it is Eric. I'm in NV and had people report my car as a smoking car, yet it passes smog fine. DMV guys seemed giddy to tell me to go pound sand. All these damn idiots moving here from CA voting in their old garbage, can't stand it.

An easy check for the module is to remove the connector from the module and install 2 15 amp mini fuses into the harness connector, fuses fit perfectly. This confirms powers and grounds, also get you out of a bind if your dead side the road
