You need to confirm that the fuel-pump is operable, use the 12 volt battery from your car.

Easiest thing to do first is check the voltage going to the pump. It should be getting voltage when the key is first turned on. I'm sure wmburns will chime in shortly with more details (like which wire, how many volts it should be getting, etc.)

Is there an inertia switch on the newer mustangs? Foxbodys have them and it cuts the power to the pump if it gets a hard hit as described by the OP

From what I read it's in the trunk on the left side behind the trim panel. Most likely has a red button on it to reset it.
Yes, there is an inertia cut off switch. See if it isn't tripped (just push it back in.) Next you can see if you have voltage to the switch and going out of the switch. Should be right around 12 volts.
The Dark Green with Yellow stripe is the incoming voltage (you have to find a body ground to test it) and the out going voltage line to the fuel pump is Pink with a black stripe. If the switch is not thrown than you should get voltage coming out of the Pink with black stripe wire. You have to find your own ground.
