What if it is getting power? Where do I go from there?

Answer

The next thing after the fuel pump relay is the inertia switch which should be located in the passenger side kick panel in the floor board, make sure the small red button in the center is pushed down.

Isnt the inertia switch only going to need reset in the event of an accident?

Answer

Usually, but sometimes they will if someone bumps the area in the floor board with their foot into the side panel. You also need to make sure there is power into it and out.
