Without knowing all of the information like the vehicle history, the components that have been tested or replaced, the results of any tests that need to be run and without being there myself looking at the vehicle, it is hard to say exactly what is going on. I can only give you a general answer, but I hope this helps. Depending on your set up and engine size, you might have a hot handling fuel module and or fusible links located on the firewall under the hood. Some of these even have an inline fuse that powers up the fuel pump. You can start by checking for this hot handling fuel pump and checking for power to the fuel pump while cranking. If you have done this already and determined there is no power, check the fuel pump relay operation. If the relay was replaced, check to see if it activates when you turn the key on and when cranking the engine over. If not, check the inputs to the fuel pump relay. It needs two powers and one ground to operate. If you can read a wiring diagram, send me the VIN and I can send you a copy of the factory wiring diagram of the fuel pump circuit. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to help you. I really appreciate your patience through this process. My goal is to provide you with excellent service.

Good morning sir. I did some checking based on your VIN. YES, this vehicle does use an inline fuel pump fuse and fusible links off of the junction box and possibly a hot handling fuel pump depending on your fuel system. I would recommend to start by checking the fuel pump fuse and the fusible links under the hood at the junction box. I have provided a wiring diagram of this circuit for you below. Click on the link.

Fuel pump fuse is good the 20amp in line fuse looks good but I’m not sure
Automotive Expert
Ok then you need to check the fuse using a meter. You can also check for power in and out of the fuse or circuit using a voltmeter as well.

Okay I’ll just put a new fuse in it if that doesn’t work I’ll do that
Automotive Expert
Sounds good
