When you turn the key to the ON position (w/out starting) you will be able to hear the pump come on for ~5 seconds......if you can't hear it come on, it's not on. Try some electric contact cleaner on the…….well, contacts. As mentioned, a test light on the power lead is a good double check, and a nice quick test before you start pulling power from another source. Love the limp home hot-wire trick if it’s the relay!
Very, very, very important!!! If you do remove the pump you need to take special care not to get any of the debris on or around the top of the pump into the tank. Sure you have a pump filter and an inline fuel filter to help prevent this particulate from reaching the injectors or engine, but you don’t want it hanging out in the tank waiting for its chance.
If you do have to replace the pump, you can go to your local auto parts supplier and simply replace the pump itself instead of the entire fuel pump housing. I can give details & pics of the 30 minute procedure if anyone is interested…………it can be done on the trail as well. Less than a $100 w/ a lifetime warranty, or you can pay +-$300
Be safe, and best of luck tracking it down.
