on my '83 its the one at the top right corner that's turned 90 degrees from all the others, if you've got the old glass fuses, the haynes manual says its the one at the bottom left corner.

I own 5 1984 gsl-se's, and have never heard of a fuse for your fuel pump. Perhaps only so in earlier models but in the later first generations they have none. Test this philosophy by removing the box behind the driver side seat and find the rubber plug in the floor board with the wire running thru it, this is the power for your fuel pump. unplug the coupler and test the power while you attempt to start. Verify the line is truly dead. if the line is dead check your second fusible link in the engine compartment. 84-85 12a's have a rack on the firewall containing 3 fusible links. 13b's have 5. In both models and years its the second one down from the top. Logic behind no fuse for fuel pump.... in any scenario when the engine dies with the key still in the run positon... the fusible link kills the fuel pump for safety issues. there is no fuel pump relay of fuse or anything else. Trust me.
