Default 89 f150 fuel pump?

Hey I gotta 89 f150 300 i6 rwd standard and it's been Sittin for about 3 years after a cracked head gasket and I'm fixin her back up and it had gas in It the whole time it sat when I turn the key I don't hear the fuel pump kick on. got a fuel pump relay today thinkin it was the problem so at this point I ain't sure if it's the fuel pump, the fuse or the wires that go to the relay maybe one of y'all can point me in the right direction of what y'all think thanks

Dual tanks? Could also be the tank selector switch.

Not sure if the 89 has a reset switch for the pumps but could be that as well.

You can always jumper the pump wire to test the pump to see if it works, not exactly sure which wires, you would have to look that up, but think you jump the power wire into the relay to the brown wire, once again not sure on colors.

You have two fuel pumps. Dual tank trucks have three.

No you didn't. It's shown in Sean's sticky - the pic with all the green arrows

Sometimes those pumps get shelacked inside from the gas sitting. Other times they just seize from sitting in one position for years. Occasionally you can get them to free up with a few good thumps on the tank with a rubber hammer.
