I know it is in the passenger side kickpanel, maybe unplug it then plug it back in? Normally there is a button on it, but it has been a while since i have looked at mine.

The button is on top of the box. You pretty much reach it by feel.

Your reset switch should be identical to mine. When you feel up along the top of the box, you should feel a circle up top. The switch is recessed inside that circular spot, and it's one of those switches where it barely moves, but you can feel the "click" of it depressing. If you still have your owner's manual, it will show you a picture of this switch.

Never heard of pulling it up, only pushing a 'popped' fuel pump 'rollover' switch to restore power. Be sure it is pushed down fully & reset.

There's 6 relays in a row next to the fuses by the master cylinder. The fuel pump relay is essentially the center 1. Its the 3rd inside square relay next to 3 rectangular ones.

Thanks Club Wagon, found it, pulled it out and swhitched with another sameone and with the key turned on, the relay in a different slot clicks as its being activated but when I placed the relay on the fuel pump slot, nothing happens?????...I am getting 12v to the slots on the fuel pump relay but something is preventing it from energizing...would you know what it might be? its driving me nuts

Check your fuses... Fuel pump Relay, fuse #19... 20 amp... under the hood... mine is a 98 also, but with 4.6.... your fuse location may be different.
