with the limited info you gave…  
check fuses an fuel pump relay. if what you are saying is that you checked the wires at the pump and there is no power going their. then also check the whole length of wires going back. there could be chaffing or break in wires or a bad ground. if its not what you are saying then it could be a bad pump also.
