2007 f150 Not Starting (self.auto_repair)

Truck gets power and attempts to turn over.

Which made me think it wasn't the starter or battery.

Looking things up online it pointed me to the fuel pump.

I went through and did the whole diagnostics with checking that. Including checking the fuses and relay.

I found a video saying the fuel pump control module could be messed up, and it looked pretty rusted out so I changed that. But it didn't fix the issue.

So I going back to the fuel pump diagnostics of the fuel pump, it said to turn the accessory on with the key and you should hear the fuel pump kick on if you put your ear to the gas cap. I did but I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to be hearing.

I'll probably go ahead and replace it, but is there anything else that I should be checking or what?

You should hear a fairly loud and constant buzzing sound if the fuel pump is working.
