Fuel pump connecotr - 1990 Vert

Where is the fuel pump connector located? All I could find is by the strut tower on the Coupe models. Also, is there an easier way to disable the pump? I need to bleed pressure to replace the fuel filter.

Actually, is that the fuel pump relay under the drive side dash board with the yellow base and white connector?

That was it. I don't know why haynes asks you to disconnect it at the back.

Now to remove a fuel filter that has been there for 20yrs...

You disconnect it and then try to turn the motor over for a few seconds. It is just a safety precaution. Better to know the pressure is gone before you start working instead of finding out pressure is still there when gas spews into your eyes.
