How can I tell if my fuel pump is gone bad or if I have a relay problem, where is the relay box located?

This could be a relay issue but the best way to check is find out if the fuel pump has power or just remove the relay and jump it to see if the pump comes on.

Here are a couple guides that will show more info on how to do this:

Below is the info from the manual on the location of the relay and fuses. Plus the wiring diagrams that will give more detail on this.

Please let us know if you have other questions. Thanks

Hello, I'm Danny.

If The relay turns out to not be the problem here are instructions on how to replace the in-tank electric fuel pump which is mounted inside the fuel tank. Here is a tutorial showing how to replace an in-tank electric fuel pump:
