    there is no "fuel pump relay" as you are thinking nor is there and inertia switch. Toyota uses a "circuit opening relay" to control the fuel pump and it is located behind the dash apx. rheostat level. I am assuming by your question the fuel pump is not running?

    Thank you and I think that my fuel pump is not working I had a problem with the starter I fixed that now it's a problem I still need to test for fuel pressure but I'm pretty sure that it is the fuel pumpand do you mean that the open circuit relay is located near the passenger side seat

    I am also looking for the inertia switch on a 2014 Tacoma with a 4.0 I know it has one cuz it tells you how to reset it in the manual however it's not working or at least I'm still not getting power to the relay. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    @Glamisman dude thank you so much. I’ve spent the last few days trying to diagnose this same problem. The moment I read your comment I found it, got a new one and BAM! Turned in no prob.
