disconnect the plug from the fuel pump, test for 12v on the yellow/green wire. With the key on of course.

Check the main relay...the main relay usually has a mind of it's own when the weather is cold. So yeah I would check that.

IF you arent getting voltage to the pump, THEN check the main relay.

the grey box under the driver's side dash
actually that diagram is kind of off... it's really to the left of the fuse panel.
