If you know for certain that the punp is not powering,i.e. you have physically check the wiring at the pump for a voltage supply,using a multi-meter or 12v test light.The next step would be to supply the pump with power and earth to make sure it functions.you can do this straight from your car battery, run a twin core/or use a power probe to give it voltage,obviously disconnect the plug first.there is a small inspection hatch in the rear of your combo that lets u access the tank sender/pump.If the pump works u can check at your filer canister that it,s actually lifting fuel,hope this is of help.
