Where is the fuel pump on a 2014 Chevy Impala?
The fuel pump for a 2014 Chevy Impala is located inside the fuel tank, with access through a panel under the rear seat cushion. There’s no exterior access from the trunk or engine bay.
In this model year, the pump supplies fuel to the engine via a module that sits in the top of the tank. Access to the pump requires removing the rear seat cushion to reach the internal panel, then lifting out the pump module for inspection or replacement. This article outlines the location and the general steps involved in accessing the unit.
Location and access
Details on where to find the pump and how to reach it for inspection or replacement.
- Park on a flat surface, set the parking brake, and (if applicable) relieve fuel pressure according to your service manual.
- Remove the rear seat cushion to reveal the access area over the fuel tank (commonly on the driver’s side of the rear seating area).
- Open the service access panel to expose the fuel pump module sitting in the top of the tank.
- Disconnect the electrical connector and the fuel lines from the pump module, taking care to minimize fuel spills.
- Unscrew or unclip the pump module retaining ring and carefully lift the module out of the tank for replacement or inspection.
Safety note: Work in a well-ventilated area away from open flames or sparks, wear eye protection, and follow proper procedures. If you’re not comfortable performing fuel-system work, have a qualified technician handle the replacement to avoid fire hazards or fuel leaks.
Additional considerations
Keep in mind that variations can exist by trim level or production date. If you’re diagnosing a suspected fuel-pump issue, consider checking fuel pressure with an appropriate gauge, listening for the pump priming when the ignition is turned on, and inspecting related fuses and wiring before proceeding with a full replacement.
Summary
The 2014 Chevy Impala’s fuel pump is housed inside the fuel tank and is accessed through a panel under the rear seat cushion. Replacing it involves removing the rear seat, opening the access panel, disconnecting the lines and electrical, and lifting the pump module from the tank. For accuracy and safety, consult the factory service information or enlist a professional technician for servicing the fuel-delivery system.
