relay,above left footwell.

usually only happens when it freezes though,so this might not be issue unless its really cold where you are.

is there a fuel pump fuse?

 

[ROCKERDAN]

did you run the motor after change?.....did you forget to hook something up i wonder?

i believe the only reason a fuel pump wont run when you turn key is if RELAY is bad,froze....we had this happen on a COLD MORNING so we used the hot exhaust off another apex(backed it close) and it heated the relay and then it started.

that is ODD to have frozen up and its not even that cold out yet....however the reason they do this is due to moisture getting into the relay,and after a humid summer,that might have been it.

many guys keep a SPARE on trips incase.
