Hello, let's check the relay for the fuel pump. This should be in the fuse box on the passenger side of the vehicle's interior, at the floor. You'll have to remove a plastic panel and then the lid for the fuse box. You will see 6 big black relays and 5 small relays between them. The relay in the middle #3 will be the fuel pump relay. Swap it with a neighboring relay and see if the pump starts to work. If not, we can continue from here.
