Take it fuse is ok?

The wires for the pump go down the drivers side, under the trim that goes from front to back, sort of inner sill (name has left me).

Haven't set fire to/caught any under there have you?

its fuse 21 iirc.

Sometimes fuses can fail, but don't appear to.

Has anything else like interior light etc stopped working?
