Change the fuel pump and now the new fuel pump is not getting power. All the fuses are good, and the relays are good, and it still will not start.

Hi,

Power is sent to the fuel pump via the open relay, under-hood fuse box. Switch it with a different relay having the same part number to see if that changes anything.

Next, if you go to the fuel pump connector, locate the blue wire with a black tracer. Probe it for power while a helper turns the key from off to the run position. Is there power? If there is, we need to check for a ground path.

Locate the white wire with a black tracer and check it for continuity to ground.

Let me know what you find.
