Errrrnt! (failed buzzer sound)
Pump turns on when the supercharger first kicks in then remains on until the car is shut off.

Remove the cap from the top of the coolant overflow/storage tank.
Use visegrips or whatever and pinch the upper hose coming from the intercooler below the "Y".
Pull off the tiny hose that is on top of the tank and hold it over the now open storage tank.
Start the car. Put it in gear (DON'T forget to use the brake!) and rev over 1300 rpm so that the SC kicks on. Put car in park.
Coolant should flow from the tiny hose if the pump is on.

I think!
