There is a SAM control unit on the left side of the trunk that sounds like it has gone bad but to be sure here is a guide and a fuel pump wiring diagram to help you do some testing.

Did you check the #3 fuse in the SAM control left side of trunk? If the fuse is good we need to see if the engine has spark because if it doesn't the SAM control will not turn the pump on. Here is a guide to help you check for spark:
