tricky one.

the pumps and stalks both can fail.

I have to say though, I have replaced more pumps than arms!

Do you have a multimeter? if not get down to maplins and pay the fiver for one, its the best tool you can have in these cases.

It will tell you for sure if its th estalk or pump, if your gettign 12V to the pump but its not workign then its deffo the pump.

You could use a bulb for this test as well.
