You may want to check the ignition switch control module under the key switch too. It may wiggle loose and the pins don’t make the proper connection. This will make the pump fail to engage electrically. Usually you will notice the lights on the dash don’t light up either.

Check ground bolt, located drivers side rear in the frame. Should be two wires grounded there, rear lights and fuel pump.
