There is no fuse for the fuel pump and none of the fuel pump wires go anywhere near the dash. The fuel pump is controlled by the ECU and gets it's power from the fuel pump relay in the engine compartment. Only ONE wire in the dash has anything at all to do with making the engine run and one other wire makes it start. The rest is all in the back. I have heard of an easy and subtle way to prevent the engine from running with just a switch up front, at least on 2.1 models. Since I have not verified it myself, I can't say it is safe.
