These are nice as there is a removable cover/ port in the rear trunk on these models.This eliminates the need to drop the tank. This access plate gives you direct access to the pump/sender unit in the fuel tanks top side.

SOURCE: How do you replace the fuel pump in 1992 2wd Subaru Legacy Wagon

  1. Relieve the fuel system pressure.
  2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  3. Remove the rear exhaust pipe and muffler assembly.
  4. On All Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles, remove the rear differential assembly and the rear crossmember. You do not have AWD so this step is not for you
  5. Remove the fuel filler cap and drain the fuel into a suitable container.
  6. Remove the fuel filler pipe protector.
  7. Raise and support the vehicle safely on jackstands.
  8. Remove the fuel filler, air vent and delivery hoses.
  9. On AWD vehicles, disconnect the air breather hoses and evaporation hose from the pipes.
  10. Support the fuel tank with a floor jack or equivalent lifting device.
  11. Loosen the attaching bolts and lower the fuel tank slightly.
  12. Disconnect the fuel pump harness

SOURCE: why is my 1996 subaru legacy not getting fuel?

but if you have no fuel pressure it wont start. Spray some quick start. If it starts then you need to test for fuel pressure. If none or low, replace fuel pump.

2004 Subaru Legacy 35th anniversary edition. Where is the fuel pump relay reset button for it.

Question edited for clarity and correct spelling of maker.
Question moved to model category.

Relays don't have a reset button, they are just an electro mechanical switch. Subaru don't have inertia cut off switches.

https://www.subaruforester.org/threads/2004-cant-find-the-fuel-pump-reset-switch.844913/

Help in the link, but it sounds like you need an auto electrician even though you give no clue what is wrong with the vehicle.

Why does my 98 subaru legacy sputter and die?

Clean your MAF sensor and throttle body. If it's dirty it will send wrong voltage to ECU, running either too lean or too rich, most likely too rich and flooded the fuel injectors.
