Is there a way to bench test the pump to verify it's really dead? I'm not sure I can just jump 12v to it since it's controlled by the ECU. When I do the coolant bleed procedure in the car I don't hear it running, but I'm not sure if it's that loud even when working.
You'll definitely hear it when it's bleeding
