Hi,
So the fuel pump relay is in the fuse box under the hood I think.
Put your hand on the fuel pump relay - see if an assistant turning the key to OFF
and to start or even just to ON can affect the relay.
You will feel a "click" via the feeling capacity of your hand.
You'll feel the click motion or bump in the relay.
If you don't feel that - the relay is not moving.
If you have a volt - ohm meter go to 12 VDC scale and ground the black lead.
With the red lead - put the red lead onto the pins where the relay goes in
one by one.
with the key ON but not starting - you should see 12 Volts on at least on pin for the main current to the fuel pump.
You should see 12 volts on another pin to bring the relay closed.
You probably have the 12 volts for the fuel pump - that the relay bridges and transfers
But not the 12 volts to kick the relay down.
If you are very good with your hands, you can get two small screw drivers
and slip the cover off the relay (I am guessing) and try to close it manually and see if the pump runs.
But this may ruin the relay if you are not careful
Contacts on the relay could be carbon-ed up and not conducting.
Looks like a standard euro relay.
You can get this in any autoparts store.

Here is a link to an electrical diagram

Search on fuel pump.
Looks like there is a 30 amp fuse in the under the hood fuse box you should pull the fuse - check the contacts for corrosion.
Check that the fuse is passing current with an ohm meter.

jfall,
Thanks for the tips. I have battery voltage at pin 30 but nowhere else. The fuel pump relay is NOT activating although I thought it was before. I also have no power to the inertia switch on either side of the connector. I do have continuity on the brown wire but not on the white/green wire. The vehicle acts like the inertia switch has been tripped (no fuel/hazards stay on) but when I bypass the switch nothing changes. I am thinking maybe a broken wire to the inertia switch or an internal ECM failure. I have checked for water damage to the ECM and I don't see any.

Success!
By following the advice on this forum and simple reasoning I was able to locate the unplugged connector under the fuse box in the engine compartment for the inertia switch. I plugged it back in and now the vehicle starts right up. Cost of repair - $0.00, plus about four hours of my time chasing ghosts. Now I just have to fix the oil leaks before I get fined by the DEC. Thanks to all who offered assistance.
