1996 Accord Ex Manual transmission Vtec engine

I was driving and I lost fuel power first and then the car came to a stop at the intersection and the gas would not respond after about ten seconds it turned off.
The car has not started since, have tried every day for a week but the starter is working.

I cannot hear the fuel pump when I turn the key on.

There is no power at the fuel pump when I turn the key on.

My next plan is to test the main relay today Which I believe is behind the dash behind a silver box. I read it was labeled main relay. I will test pins 5 and 7 with the tester.
I would appreciate any help either in doing something different or if the Main relay is somewhere else.
Thank you
