Someone will need to check the circuit at the pump to see if it is getting power from the relay. If it is the pump should be running when you first turn the key on.
You can also check for power at the pump relay.

there should be a relay switch on the passanger side in the floor board up to the firewall or look in the manual for it.... if your car wont start cause its starvin for gas it could be the fix...find the switch or button and press it it restarts your fuel sending unit

SOURCE: WON'T START AFTER BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Probably a security system, battery was unhooked.
Some Fords also have two fuel pumps, one in the tank, and a secondary one in the frame rail.

Cranks but wont start

Apparently the relay is not being turned on. I believe that signal would come from the engine computer. Does your check engine light come on when you turn the key to on? If it does, the computer is powered up-if no check engine light, either the bulb has burnt out or the computer has no power-check for a bad fuse.
Put your finger on the fuel pump relay and have someone turn the key to on. Do you feel the relay tick? If you do, check if the relay has one hot wire with key off-use a voltmeter or a testlight. If you do have a hot wire at relay., check fuel pump wiring from relay to the pump. Pull off the connector at the pump and replug it back in.
If you can't find a powered wire at the relay with key off, maybe it is only hot when key is on, so turn key on and check relay again for that power wire going to the relay, one wire should have constant power there. If not, there is a wiring problem between the battery and the relay. If the relay has power to it, but you felt no pulse when turning the key to on, likely the relay is not getting a signal to turn on. A shop would need to investigate that.
Well, good luck, hope you find the problem.

Hi. my 2000 ford windstar was working fine and yesterday it just would not start. Its cranking hard but it just would not start. sounds like its not getting gas. What could be the problem? how can I find...

The fuel pump in the tank could have failed. Check for fuel pressure on the fuel rail with a fuel pressure guage at the shrader valve. You could have some one bang on the fuel tank with a rubber mallet while cranking it may or may not still start if it starts it needs a fuel pump. If not need to check fuel pressure. Could also be other reasons.

How do you check if there is power to the fuel pump on 2000 ford windstar. should there be power to the fuel pump shut off switch when checked with a test light?

yes. power comes from the fuel pump relay to that switch then to the pump Of course the wire will only have power in the crank mode, or for 2 seconds when key is turned to ON.

I don't think the fuel pump is pumping. Car wont

you would have to fnd the gas line that goes to your motor disconnect and crank car to see if feul comes ,but some cars have a fuel line with a valve that you push in the little pin in the middle and should shoot out fuel looks like your aircondition line but it should be next to fuel injection line

Cycle 2 or 3 times and the windstar started.

could be the fuel pump or it may be as little as the fuel filter.
