Some possibilities:

The fuel pump has died
The fuel pump relay is faulty (exchange it with one of its mates to find
out)
There is a bad/loose wiring connection to the pump
The fuel filter is plugged
The pump's inlet strainer is plugged
There is no gas in the tank

filter is good pulled off inlet to the filter turned on the switch no
pressure,

switch relays, no pressure

is there any sensors to check or if the relay is on the pump should
run in any case?

any ideas what color i need to check for power to the pump at the
connector at the pump?

Don't have the exact schematic for your machine, but my Haynes manual shows
a GRAY wire as being the power for the pump.  Also there is a RED "prime"
wire in your engine compartment.  It will be dangling on a harness
somewhere.  Applying 12 volts to this wire when the engine isn't running
will run the pump if the wiring is intact and the pump is OK.
