Unplug the connector under the rear carpet, Stick a multi meter on the end and turn your 7 to ignition, if you have power going to it your multi will read 12v.

That only works if you jumper the fuel pump test connector. It is a large black plug that is bright yellow where the actual connector would go. It is next to the pass shock tower. Jumper the two connections with a test jumper (wire with spades on each end). Now put the key in the ON position. The fuel pump should now be on. If it isn't, pull of the carpet and check that the fuel pump plug is getting power.
