Exclamation Problem with electrical system

i had the door ajar problem, and tried pulling some fuses for the interior/cab lights, once i used the wd-40 method, i tried to start my truck, and its like the fuel pump is not engaging, i need to know which fuse in the box thats under the hood that controls that, and if u can find a diagram, i will be in debt to u..

I can give you locations from an 02 owners book that may be the same.
The fuse box in the engine bay has fuse 10 and 18 that control the fuel pump.
There are two rows of small fuses along the outside edge of the box.
The outside row are all odd numbers the inside row are all even numbered fuses.
The numbering starts from "right to left".
So the fuses you want to look at are the 5th even fuse (#10) and the last even fuse (#18) .
If this doesn't make sense to you, try to get hold of a book for your truck or go to a dealer parts counter and ask to look at or have them print out a sheet that shows the locations for your truck.
Fuse 10 is a 20 amp. Fuse 18 is a 15 amp.
Best of luck..

There is a crash switch/ inertia switch on the passenger side near the kick panel that may be tripped. This will stop the pump from operating.

The reset switch is right at the top of the panel behind it.
You can't see it so feel it.
On the top you will feel a round funnel shape. It has a button in it. Push it downward to be sure it is reset.
It is a mechanically sensitive trip switch.
You may have to test farther by removing the panel if you think the switch might be defective.
