Check the fuel pump relay first. It's in location #6 (top/right corner) for US production or location #2 for Mexican production vehicles,under the dash. If you can bypass the relay by jumping the terminal, you'll know whether the fuel pump(s) are faulty.
Make sure you check the fuse (#10 for US and #5 for Mex) for the fuel pump while your under there.
