Most cars are designed to only put power to the pump for a few seconds till the rpms reach a certain point so it doesn't keep pumping if engine stops. If you have power while cranking and you didn't have someone turn key on and watch test light right away you could have not noticed having power with key on and you probably have a bad pump. Also did you check to see if you had good ground in plug also? I would say if you have power and ground at plug pump is bad.
If you actually have no power to the pump and all the fuses and relays are good check the wires for a short and if that is good replace the ignition switch. If you think the condition is no power to the pump because it doesn't seem to power up remove the pump and apply direct power to it to see if the pump is the problem.
Try banging on the fuel tank, and then quickly try to start it, if it starts your fuel pump is almost dead and will need replaced soon.
If it doesn't start, test for power at the wiring connector on top of the fuel tank. This test requires 2 people, because the fuel pump is only powered for a few seconds when the engine isn't running. If you have power, then the problem is in the fuel pump (completely failed or bad wiring connection on the pump/inside the sending unit)
fuel pump only comes on for 5 seconds when key is turned to ON, unless engine is running.
Relay is usually near PCM with power realy for PCM - computer.
