Just because you have replaced the pumps does not mean that are performing as designed.

I thought about this, the only way to make sure I guess it will be to install 2 pilot lights inside the car form the 12V of each pump, that way I can confirm that both pumps are working when cranking. Any better Idea to discard this option?
