Fuel pump not working

The fuel pump in my 98 escort zx2 is not working. The Chilton's manual has no diagram for the wiring or relay. How do I tell if it is getting power?

    Thank you

    no noise and the pump does not even get warm

    My daughters '98 Escort also will not start. We replaced the Fuel Pump with a reclaimed pump, but it didn't help. The Fuel Shut-off switch in the trunk is set. The pump does nothing when the car is cranked. I took the line off at the pump and not a drop comes out when the car is cranked. Is there a way to tell if it is getting power? Is there a relay that may be bad? She's a poor college student and I'm trying to help her out, but not sure what to do next! She can't afford much.

Both turn signals on my 1998 Ford Escort zx2 don't flash.

The 98 Escort is actually a Mazda 323 with Ford trim. It uses a solid state flasher relay for both turn signals and hazard lights.
The relay is behind the speedometer. My guess is the relay has died.
You can look it up online or check with your local auto parts store to get a visual.
