The fuel pump relay is a very common item to fail.

Jumper the pins as 450slcguy recommends, if the pump fires up you can then save a few dollars and do the following.

Locate the relay module, open up the black platic box and remove the circuit board. Inspect all the soldering joint as per below, you will usually notice several dry joints on the relay connections to the board.

If you have access to a soldering iron or know someone with one, resolder these and you should be in buisness.
Most other connections are usually ok, but I would check them anyway.

The joints should have a consistant, relatively shinny silver apearance all over. If you see any of them discoloured or have a fine ring visable around the component lead give them a touch up (a micorscope, loop or magnifying glass would be ideal to use to inspect with).

I have repaired many of them in the past

Regards
