Sit in your car turn the key twice listin toward the back seats if your hearing a humming noise your pump is cutting on soon as it does crank it. youll have to try a few times to maybe get it going but um like you said fuel pump aint charging..? replace it? just my thoughts.

it doesnt even crank? so even if the fuel pump is bad it should crank.

No. Check your wiring to the fuel pump itself. Try giving the gas tank a wack with the hammer and see if that helps any. If it does somehow start it is your fuel pump. If that does not work try replacing the main relay (located under the driver side fuse box). Check for blown fuses also.

omfg... epic FAIL

if your going to ask for help be more descriptive and pour information into a thread.

on what grounds are you saying your fuel pump wont charge?
all you've said is when you try to start (makes click noise)

click click means the voltage to the starter is insufficient.
has nobody ever had a dead battery?

check your battery , use wire brush and sandpaper and clean the insides of the metal cylinder clamps and the battery terminals. I see this happen all the time.

If the battery, transmission ground, and starter connections are good, then check the rubber stopper that presses on the safety starter switch at the top of the clutch pedal.

You didn't say that you checked this.
