this got me when i took my bed off. there is a ground wire for the tail lights thats also for the fuel pump. its with the tail light strand of wires.

Mounts behind the L tail light, if no go, jump the resistor on the left fender in front of the air box.

Or check that there is juice to the resistor first...
