1986 crown vic wont start

I got a 1986 crown victoria, and it wont start. It will turn over, but the fuel pump does not prime when i turn the key. I was wondering if i need to replace the pump, or replace a fuse or something.

Have you checked to see if there is current at the pump? There is a relay on the left inner fender down behind the headlight that has a green base on it. This is the fuel pump relay. See if it clicks when the key is turned on. If not, replace relay first. If it clicks, see if current is going to pump. If current is going to pump, replace pump.
