Location of 1998 Ford Taurus fuel pump. Does it have a fuel cut-off switch?

Car shut down suddenyl without warning. New battery and cranks but will not start. Suspect bad fuel filter, 130K miles and fuel filter has never been replaced.

you can't change it after the fact… The fuel pump is down inside the gas tank. It has a fuel pump cut-off switch mounted way up front, in case you're in a wreck. Ford cut-off switches are usually in the trunk. To check the fuel pump, first make the shut-off is reset, then cycle the ignition on and off and have someone listen for a buzzing noise at the back of the car. If not have it diagnosed. The pump is in the gas tank and is a pain to get at, but other things can shut it down.
