Answer
Hi Mike,

I believe you have to press the inertia switch to reset fuel system.  Check your owner manual.

First, check the fuel pump fuse.  If ok then press the the inertia switch, found in the engine compartment on the firewall (passenger side).

LR fuel pumps have been known to fail after running out of fuel.  Obviously, you don't want to let it get to that.
