Inside the fuel tank.
Remove back seat squab, (bottom bit), two bolts at front, lift and remove.
There is then a cover on the driver's side, remove this and fuel pump is in tank under.

Your manual lists all fuses.

If fuses are OK, get to the pump and look to it's connectors, and the feed wires: connectors get corroded, feed wires can chafe.

To get ar the pump you also need to remove the back part of the seat aswell as the acess port is actually located on the boot floor, but it's far more accessable by removing the seats.

It's strange for the pump just to pack in without any whining ect before hand, pop the plug off the pump cradle and check for power with a multimeter before you start removing the pump.
