There should be a fuel pump prime connector, rear of engine compartment, driver side, red wire with electrical connector, nothing plugged into it. If you use a jumper wire and run voltage to the connector, the pump should run, you don't need to use the key. Use an inline fuse on the jumper, the circuit is for testing the pump.
