Well, if your pump isn't working -your light should come on. If you really want to see if it's pumping pull valve cover off -start motor-if pumps working you should make a mess pretty quick! Dirty way of seeing but should answer your question one way or another.
P.S.- have some old shop rags handy!! :lol:
