What's the symptom? Cranking and the fuel pump have nothing in common. Chrysler fuel pumps never quit once they're running. When they fail, they fail to start up. If the engine stalled while you were driving, you could very well have a turned-off fuel pump but you have to check for spark too. Don't stop diagnosing with the first thing you find dead.

If the starting system also is not working, you might have a charging system problem. Did you notice a "Check Gauges" light or the voltmeter was going low?
