Left driver side front. The wires go to the fuse box and under the steering column. I checked for any pulled wires there are none the wires were stripped but not in contact with each other i think just with the ground it might have burned the computer obd2 has no code yet the check engine light is illuminated

I hate to say it, but since it seems there is no power making it to the fuel pump assembly, you need to start there and work your way through the system to determine where power is lost. Not a fun job, but there is no other choice.
