No fuel pressure before and after replacing the fuel pump. All fuses under the hood are good (pump, ecm, etc.). Relays have the right resistance. Key in 2nd position and pressing my ear to the rear of the car (where the access panel is for the pump) and can't hear the pump whirring. Help! What next?

Check the central electronic module behind left side of dash-this is the one that powers the fuel pumps-

Aside from looking at it and making a happy remark, what would be a possible testing procedure?

Engine Mechanical problem
2004 Volvo XC90 All Wheel Drive Automatic 140000 miles

My xc90 just quite the other day in a parking lot. My fuel gage showed just over 1/2 a tank. When I turned it over, I could here that it was fireing but wouldn't start. I had it towed to the Volvo dealer and they suggested it was the fuel pump. $ 1400.00 later I had a new pump installed. As I was leaving the dealer they mentioned that I should head straight to a gas station to put in fuel as they had to put a gerry can of fuel in it. The very next day I realized that my fuel gage was not working properly, giving me misreadings. I feel the dealer made a huge mistake by replacing the fuel pump. I beleive the truck was just out of gas and needed the gage replaced (is that a big job?). I have contacted the service manager but I'm not getting hepl I'm looking for. They now want to charge me to fix the fuel gage! I need you to educate me as best as you can so I can fight this properly.
Thanks you in advance.

You have 2 level units. One is on the left side of the tank and the other is part of the fuel pump assembly but I am assuming you have the plastic gas tank installed. If the hoses or harness was not routed correctly it can get cought up with the level float causing a misreading of the gage? Does it still read half? Or did it change position now? They should at least recheck what they did at no charge. If all that looks good then you will need to pay for further diagnosing?
