The relay should be on the firewall, passenger side, should be gray or black in color. the fuse moves around based on the year. I have seen them right next to the relay have also seen them in the main fuse block. To figure out what you need to fix first find the relay. unhook the wire loom and check for power. If you have power then the fuse is good. next I would put the new relay on it and see if it works. (you can't loose here. if the pump is bad you have to replace the relay) If it does then you were lucky enough to have just fried a relay. if not then get ready to drop the tank. One thing to remember is that most electric fuel pumps die because the fuel filter is plugged.
