Eric I've never heard of any vehicle having a fuel pump reset button. Answer Eric is correct.....Saturn does NOT have a fuel pump reset button, but Ford came out with theirs in the 80s, I believe, and offered it on most of their vehicles. Its purpose was to shut off the fuel pump in the event of a crash to avoid fire. It sometimes tripped causing the car to act like it was out of fuel and had to be reset to restart the pump. In the Escorts it was located in the passenger side trunk area.
