A fuse will blow for 2 reasons .
1) If the device has a Short in the circuit that runs through this fuse.
2) If the device draws more amperage from the power source through the fuse than the fuse will handle.
ex. if a fuel pump or starter has a 20 amp fuse and the starter/fuel pump is going bad and draws 30 amps
it will blow the fuse.
A fuel pump on a 1996 vehicle is located in the fuel tank and is kept cool by the surrounding gas and the gas
that flows through it. Overheating a fuel pump is virtually impossible.
That being said there is a High probability that replacing the fuel pump and relay will fix this problem.
It is quite common for this to occur in the GM vehicle of 1996. When the pump starts to fail, it draws an
excessive amount of amperage and would blow the fuse. Hope you find this information useful.

There should be battery voltage at the fuel pump. Check the battery voltage at the fuel pump relay to be sure that there is power coming from the battery. Check voltage at fuel pump fuse.
Fuel Pump Flow Control Module (FPCM) - LMF
The fuel pump flow control module (FPCM) is a serviceable GMLAN module. The FPCM receives the desired fuel pressure message from the engine control module (ECM) and controls the fuel pump located within the fuel tank to achieve the desired fuel pressure. The FPCM sends a 25 KHZ PWM signal to the fuel pump, and pump speed is changed by varying the duty cycle of this signal. Maximum current supplied to the fuel pump is 15 amps. A liquid fuel pressure sensor provides fuel pressure feedback to the FPCM.
Electronic Returnless Fuel System (ERFS) - LMF
The electronic returnless fuel system is a microprocessor controlled fuel delivery system which transports fuel from the tank to the fuel rails. It functions as an electronic replacement for a traditional, mechanical fuel pressure regulator. A pressure vent valve within the fuel tank provides an added measure of fuel pump flow control module (FPCM). Desired fuel pressure is commanded by the engine control module (ECM), and transmitted to the FPCM via a GMLAN serial data message. A liquid fuel pressure sensor provides the feedback the FPCM requires for Closed Loop fuel pressure control.

The engine control module (ECM) sends the fuel enable signal to the fuel pump control module (FPCM). The control module monitors the voltage on the fuel pump relay control circuit. If the control module detects an incorrect voltage on the fuel pump relay control circuit, a fuel pump relay control DTC sets.

Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop , dealer .
If your talking about the fuel pump, there is no shut-off switch. If your sure it is the fuel pump, check the fuel pump wiring for voltage and ground, engine cranking. Gray wire is voltage, black is ground. The pcm B fuse is in underhood fuse block. If good voltage and ground at the fuel pump with no fuel pump action or fuel pressure, suspect the fuel pump.
Ran a hot wire to what fuel pump or the control module ? Which of these is yours ?

The engine control module (ECM) supplies voltage to the fuel pump flow control module (FPCM) when the ECM detects that the ignition is on. The voltage from the ECM to the FPCM remains active for 2 seconds, unless the engine is in crank or run. While this voltage is being received, the FPCM supplies a varying voltage to the fuel tank pump module in order to maintain the desired fuel rail pressure.

Fuel Pump Electrical Circuit Diagnosis (VIN K)
Fuel Pump Electrical Circuit Diagnosis (VIN 1)
The PCM alters fuel pump speed by energizing the fuel pump speed control relay. Under normal conditions, the fuel pump speed control relay is energized. The applied voltage to the fuel pump is controlled by a resistor assembly. When higher fuel volume is required due to increased engine load, MAP sensor value over 90 kPa the PCM de-energizes the fuel pump speed control relay circuit. The increased voltage to the in-tank fuel pump allows a higher volume of fuel to be delivered to the fuel rail. The PCM also compensates for low system voltage by energizing the fuel pump speed control relay.

Your 2000 Ford. only has one fuel pump, no secondary, if no fuel pump pressure, check fuse, if fuse good, check voltage at fuel pump connector, fuel pump sit in gas tank, check voltage there, will only have voltage for 3 -5 seconds, every time the key is cycle, from on to off, if you have voltage there, bad fuel pump, fuel tank will have to come off, to replace fuel pump.
I'd want to check voltage and ground for fuel pump relay. The load side of relay is the line with arrowhead, when relay is energized that line with arrowhead moves to other terminal and sends voltage to fuel pump on gray wire. The control side of relay is that coil symbol, it has to have voltage and ground, the voltage comes from pcm, the ground is a chassis ground. The voltage for load side of relay is fuse protected, fp/inj fuse.
