The fuel pump is located inside the tank. To access it, you will need to remove the tank and locate the round plate on the top where the lines connect. This is where the outside locking ring is located.
Once you have located the outside locking ring, you can use a wrench or a similar tool to turn it counter-clockwise and loosen it. Be careful not to strip the threads on the locking ring as you turn it.
After the outside locking ring is loosened, you can lift the pump out of the tank. Be sure to support the weight of the pump as you lift it out to avoid damaging the tank or the pump itself.
It is important to note that working on fuel system components can be dangerous, and proper safety precautions should be taken. Always refer to a qualified mechanic or repair manual for specific instructions and safety information before attempting any repairs or replacements.

Replacing the wiring connector
To replace the wiring connector on a 1993 F150 fuel pump, you will first need to remove the fuel tank. The fuel pump is inside the tank, and you will need to remove it to access the wiring.
Once you have removed the tank, you will see a round plate with the fuel tube and wires. Turn the outside locking ring counter-clockwise to loosen it, and the pump will lift out of the tank.
You can then snip the wires from the original terminal and splice them onto the new pump terminal, one by one, making sure not to mix them up. For example, if the original terminal position 1 is orange, splice the orange wire in the truck's loom to the new terminal's position 1 wire (black/white).
It is now standard to rewire every aftermarket pump. There are only four wires, and it is easy to figure out each one's function. Two are for the pump motor, and two are for the sender. The pumps are labelled + and - at the top, and the sender does not matter for polarity.
