Sounds like the inertia switch is either tripped or bad. Test for voltage on both terminals. There is also a connector at the rear of the vehicle under the car behind the fuel tank check that. There is also a connector under the hood on the drivers side for diagnostic testing that has a pin you can ground to make the pump run, it's the big connector end pin with a wire going to it. This is the pin the PCM pulls to ground to activate the relay and run the pump.

Good Luck, Don

make sure you have power coming OUT of the inertia switch in the hatch!,power going in,but none going out says either toasted switch,or as already mentioned,it's needs to be reset
