Default Dead MY96 WRX import

drove to a friends house last night, warmed up absolutely fine etc, came out of theyre house about 10mins after getting there and the cars dead. unlock, all disarmed etc cranks but doesnt fire, nearly very nearly fired first attempt but then nothing. recovered it this evening, its fuel, the fuel pump isnt priming, all plugs under rear seat are fine, ive disconnected the immob so that counts that out, ive got no feed on the black and red wire to pump which i would assume i need?? thats as far as i got then the mrs turned up with her car so we could continue our journey to the pub.....

il hopefully get a chance to dig into it at the weekend, can anyone give me any pointers as far as fuses relays etc go??? or points to start at. one minute was fine then next not.
im sceptical as to whether the onboard cel (fault) system works as its never come up with any faults even when i have had problems. but nevermind that. ive managed without until now. he says touching wood.

any pointers much appreciated. thanks. dale.

Worth looking at the fuel relay or even replacing the fuel pump.

i would recheck the plugs underneath the back seat. they can sometime look fine. Just test them with a multimeter and see if you get a reading. i had same issue as you described in my old wrx. it turned out the connecter under the rear seat was no good even though it looked out.
