IC pump dead?

[LBoogie]

Yesterday I noticed that my intercooler had no coolant in it, it didnt leak out, just wasn't there since I've had it I guess (2 weeks now). Anyway, I filled it up and checked to make sure the pump is working, it wasn't. I replaced the fuse behind the alternater (it was bad), still didn't work. I searched and found that if you jump the 2 upper right aldl ports the pump should come on when you turn the key (without starting), is this correct? When I do this the pump doesn't run. All I hear is a clicking sound coming from around the firewall. Is there anything else I should check before assuming the pump is dead?

sounds like the pump is dead. this shouldnt cause the coolant to leak out though.

I have found the stock pump usually's blow the fuse when it dies. I put a new fuse in Syclone original IC pump and it immediately blew. I pull the pump out and hooked it directly to the battery and spun for about 2 sec and siezed.

Make sure the pump is getting power before you buy a new one. The relay on my truck was bad, and its cheap, like $10 or so. Take the part # off the relay as the dealer does not know what it is, they will tell you its for A/C.
