Before you take a lot of stuff apart do the simple check to see if you have power at the pump. Does any of the electronics work? Make sure the kill switch is seated.
Test for power (assuming you don't have a basic multimeter ($20) or test light ($6)): Have the car in the on position. Take a car tail lamp and a couple of paper clips. Get under the car at the fuel pump. Disconnect two wires off the fuel pump. This is where you need to be careful or you'll blow a fuse: DON"T SHORT THE PAPER CLIPS. Open up the paper clips stick one in the end of each wire. Touch one wire to the bottom of the bulb and one to the side. If it lights up you have power and probably pump failure.
