Default Fuel pump problems ?

Can anyone tell me where the relays are, and any fuses for the fuel pump on a 98 uk wrx?

I'm pretty sure it's the pump that's gone- stranding me! But it seemed to come to life when I pulled it out, but is dead when I start the car- no noise at all and was quite noisy before.

Pump is a walbro 255, only fitted earlier this year.

I think the fuel pump relay can be found in the joint box under the instrument panel on the drivers side.

Turned out to be the pump- electric feed is continuous but the pump is imtermittant- annoyingly starting firth time this morning, but back it goes.

I have read that the Walbro pumps were proving unreliable- this ones only 8 months old, with not many miles on it.
