Replaced fuel pump but it wont crank is there a reset button or relay switch on it
When you replaced the fuel pump did you do the wires too? they give you those because the wires before hand have a chance that they have high resistance and will not allow the fuel pump to work. also when you put the ignition into accessories where all the lights turn on. the fuel pump should run. if you open the gas cap and listen you should hear a humming. you may need two people as it only runs for 10-15 seconds
SOURCE: fuel pump reset button
The two most common places are in the trunk behind the fabric on either the left or right side. The second location is near the passenger side kickplate under the dashboard. You may have to remove the panel to access the button.

Ok, before I give you a suggestion, I want to let you know that I'm not an expert on cars or anyhting, but I have been focred to fix A LOT of problems with my vehicles over the years to save money, and this is a situation I ran into twice. Once on a 1994 Buick Skylark Coupe, and another time on a 1992 Chevy Corsica. What I learned is that if you hook jumper cables up to your car and it starts, there is USUALLY one of two things wrong with it. Either you have a dead battery (which you don't because it's new), or you have a bad alternator. Because the car stays running after it's jumped, everything points to a bad battery or battery connection. Have you tried replacing the connectors on your battery cables? I know it sounds like a shot in the dark, but I've tried that before out of desperation and it has worked. I'm pretty sure your alternator is ok, or your car would die when the red positive jumper cable was removed, so I'd replace the connectors on the battery calbes in your car, especially if you have never replaced them before. If that doesn't work, if it was me, I'd take it in and have it looked at. Like I said, I'm not an expert by far, so I can only trouble-shoot to a point. Hope this helps, or at least gives you something to try.

I had this exact same problem in my 88 pickup. I replaced all relays and pumps to no avail. What i did was "hot wire" my fuel pump. Run a power wire from the battery of fuse panel to a switch, then from the switch to the positive wire on the top of the in-tank fuel pump. Its kind of inconvienient at first but you get used to having to flip the switch before you turn the ignition key. It also doubles as an anti-theft device if you place the switch in a hidden spot. Good luck, i know its a pain but it is the cheapest/ easiest fix. Please leave positive feedback if i was of some help.
thank you!
