I am working on a 96 ford escort. I replaced both of the cv axles and now the fuel pump isn't working. I checked the cut off switch and its good. Could it have anything to do with jacking up the vehicle? It's not making sense to me.

You'll have to follow the circuit to determine where the problem is.

look in the trunk for the inertia switch. Might be hidden behind some of the carpeting. If I recall they might have that one on the driver's side. Should be a black housing with a red button in the center. Push in the button.

Wish I knew and don't but Escort/Tracers at least exactly 1993 and some other years were near 100% Mazdas! Door jam might suggest or plain say where it was made.
Most popular engine listed was the 1.9 as 99% of them. Looked and place I look suggests it's a real Ford only product which would likely and I mean likely have that switch in the trunk or hatch area in back that resets just a nickwarner suggested.
Could be all wrong but found if correct at all the fuel pump relay. If true to Ford should be exactly this with green and no markings saying what it is if original.
Not sure what you've already done or checked but these were common to me to just part fail and no fuel pump action at all with no provocation. Near all would respond to just whacking them and suddenly if you have left key to plain run position you'd hear the pump buzz/prime up. If so it would start unless multiple issues but toss that thing asap.
Sorry - info is sketchy on this for me and if all wrong sorry. No harm in looking for these things as it wasn't a problem before you were doing something else altogether,
