Trying to troubleshoot a brand new alkycontrol pump install. Just put the pump in to replace an old one and this one doesn't seem to spray when hitting the test button.
Where should I start to look as far as troubleshooting? Red test light does come one when the button is pressed.
 
Check for pump output voltage across + and - with voltmeter on D.C. scale as you press test button. If no power check fuse at power distribution box.

I just had the same issue. I let it sit for a day and turned the knob to 7.9 8... not max. It started pumping then.

Seems I jumped the gun also. I took the car out later that night for a ride. Parked it and hit the button and it's working perfectly now. After I put the pump in, I sat there for quite some time holding the button. I did that multiple times. I guess it took a bit for it to prime.
 
Same here.... I couldnt believe it. Oh well.... Have fun and watch for knock!
