I have a focus 2.0 16v zetec, took it to Edinburgh from Newcastle on Saturday without issue. Got home, dropped the mrs' kids off and the car would not start, and hasn't started since.........Thankfully it didn't die in Edinburgh.
I have spark and i have fuel at the rail but the spark plugs are not getting wet when cranking.
The engine turns over but it's not trying to start.
Plugged it in and there are no fault codes.
The fuel cut off switch in the drivers footwell has not fired.
Anyone want to point me in the direction of the fuel pump relays/fuses on this please or throw some more ideas my way?
Fuel Pump is a tank out jobbie which i'm not looking forward to and i guess the other is timing belt has went?

Fixed.
Fuse 12 had blown in the engine bay. I assume the pump is on its way out.

Pump swopped a few . Pain in the arse to do , easiest way drop bolt out and hold tank up with your hand, let it down onto the two arms .undo plug , make sure you take off flow and return off before unscrewing cap . Squeeze in clips to release . Undo ring and to get pump out it's clipped into tank , turn anti clockwise and lift out , check how many connections on pump sone are 4 wire some 5. Get another and watch you don't knock the fuel sender unit as they are VERY flimsy . I think sender went to back of car . Push pump Into tank hard and clip it in. When you put pipes back on make sure they don't kink otherwise it will starve it of fuel and cut out 2 min down road. As it did with me about 5 times till I figured it out .
