I spent 29 years as a component-level electronics technician, that damn spray (unless you have an OLD can of Inhibisol, that stuff was dangerous but very effective), fixes little.
The new sprays are "carcinogen free" and are harmless, you can spray them in your mouth. Because they are largely inert, they are ineffective. Got corroded pins? Then you have one way out - replace both the male and female pins, cause we have nothing anymore that is effective.
I'm not sure if the pump is running. Do the signals for it go directly to the pump, or through that corn-fallutin' lock/vacuum unit?Bill
If you are not sure, then it is not running. Unless you are deaf, (and I mean actually deaf) you can't NOT know that it's running if it is running.
If you are trying to diagnose this without the service manual and wiring diagrams, you are wasting your time.
