You should hear the pump come on for a few seconds when you first turn the key to the run position, if not, check the fuse and the relay. If those check out the chances are good the pump is bad.

Yeah I've gone through the whole check list and I didn't hear the pump and all fuses and relays are good. I do know that the jeep was in a wreck before I started working on it... Could the pcm cause the jeep to turn over but not fire and the fuel pump not work?

The cam and crank sensor could, but you should still have the two second prime when you first turn the key on. The PCM should be the last resort, they don't fail very often, but they do fail.

Disconnect the fuel pump connector at the pump and place a volt meter on the ground (negative lead) and B+ (positive lead) terminals of the connector. The ground and B+ connections are at opposing corners of the six pin plug. B+ is the upper right corner when viewing the connector straight on with the connector locking clip at the top. Ground is the opposit diagonal corner (lower left). When cranking the engine you should be reading battery voltage.

I'm trying to get my jeep running again, it was in a wreck and sat for 2 years. It will turn over just no spark. I've listened for the fuel pump, but nothing. I've banged on the fuel tank to try and jump start the pump but nothing as well.

Finally I've heard some Jeep models include some type of cut off which is activated in the event of an accident. You may want to investigate if this cut off exists (after a quick review I can't find reference to it in my service manual) and, if it does, that it hasn't been activated due to the accident.

That's the other thing I did, I switched the horn and fuel pump relay since there the same and still nothing. I knew the horn worked before I switched the relays and jt worked fine after. I've actually never heard of the cut off thing, something I'll have to search for tomorrow

How serious was the accident? They did start putting fuel cutoffs in vehicles but i dont know when. If it was a good bump it probably didnt trip but if you banged something decently then it probably did. The whole idea of the thing is to keep a fire from happening, so id hunt it down and see if you get any luck
