[DML] Dead fuel pump?

["dmcjosh85" <dmcjosh85@xxxxxxxxx>]

Earlier today I was at the drive thru at the bank, and since the 
teller was taking her time with the other car ahead of me I decided 
to shut down instead of wasting the gas. well a couple minutes 
passed and the it came time for me to start up and move up. only 
problem is, was that the car was cranking and not starting. 

Confused I pushed the car into a parking spot, and had a family 
member pick me up and take me home. Thinking it could be a hot start 
problem I decided id return later on and give it a try, also when I 
left I took my battery with me just to charge it up.
Later I returned with a fully charged battery and a cold engine in 
the DMC. tried to fire her up and no go.
I inspected to fuses and even though none were burnt I replaced the 
fuses with some spares I keep so I can rule out dead fuses. I also 
noticed I wasnt hearing anything come from the fuel tank like the 
pump pressurizing the lines or anything at all for that matter. 

The only strange thing I can really think about was a pop clicking 
noise comming from the fuse box area when the cooling fans turned on 
and again when turned off. other than that the car was running 
normal on a hot 91 degree day until I shut it down. 

so im gona see about testing the fuel pump, but my question is this. 
Why? how can this part go bad just like that.

Thank you
