IMGTX and I are going to retrieve wife's van. Maybe fuel pump, son checked the fuses and relays. They seemed to be OK. Is there a reset switch?

there is no reset switch. i'm guessing it's got a security system issue.If the signal from the key doesn't match, the engine module (pcm) shuts the fuel injectors off to prevent starting. Try a different key.Look and see if the security light is on / or flashing. If you really think it's a fuel pump.Try banging on the gas tank, the vibration will usually get the pump working again. a long shot is disconnect the battery for a minute then try again,at least you can get it home. the battery disconnect is a quick fix to get it home (sometimes), NOT a cure of the problem. Need a scan tool for reprograming.

I asked a question here a couple of weeks ago as the parking lights would come on by themselves, (security issue?) and never got a reply. They would turn on just sitting there unoccupied. Also anytime you would turn the car off, and they would come on. We have to futz with the light switch to get them to go off.

Her son tapped the tank last night and got nothing.

Thanks, and if you think of anything else?

SuperTech IMGTX found we did have spark all the way back. Pump won't turn. I ordered one last night from Vatozone. Assembly was $228. Pump was $92. I ordered the pump. I was promised it by 9am. Went in to pick it up. 2pm is what I am being told. Evidently the night guy was talking out his azz.

28* and windy!

Thanks for the tips TMM
