clean your battery connections and wires, sitting kills cars. condensation makes those things corrode. the battery could be bad now too. by wont "crank" you mean start or the starter is not spinning the engine. generally if you say it wonk crank means the starter wont turn

it will only have power for a few seconds after you turn the key. and if it doesnt there should be a relay for it. i dont have a drawing for that but going off normal function the relay should have power from a different fuse on two pins and continuity to the fp fuse on another pin. one should be high or floating then go to zero when the pcm commands the pump on.

Check all your fuses. Is the security light on?

the relay power is going to come off one of those big ones yes, did you see if you have power at the fuel pump relay? the diagram i would need isnt that its a wiring diagram that shows where the pump relay gets it power and what the wire colors are to narrow it down some
