Are you sure the pump isn't getting powered? It will only power up very briefly when the key is in the on position when the engine isn't running. So when you troubleshoot it, you have to be right there at the connector to test for power when someone first turns the key on or while the engine is cranking.

If you have fuel at the rail, I would think your pump is working.
