While trying the pump there is no movement. is there any way I can test the motor alone to see if the motor has gone bad? or is it a bad fuse or relay to the pump? thank you
 
Really helps if you tell what motor and year you have?
Better description of the problem.
Force/ Chrysler has 3 -5 different systems,

"NO MOVEMENT" make noise? click?

There is no clicking or movement from the motor there are 2 wires coming out of the motor going into what looks like relays on the motor. it is a 1988 force 125 o/b. I had a friend test the motor and said he had movement from the motor. is it a seized hydraulic pump?
 
You should be able to hear the motor run.
The 2 wires( a green and a blue) go to separate relays.
Unhook the wires from the relays(remember where they go).
Get a hot battery and touch the leads to the posts.
That supplies direct power to the motor.
Then switch the wires and see if works??

If that works? then the relays are bad and need replacing.

If the motors working, check/add fluid(30w motor oil).
The motor needs to be in the down position to add oil.
Be real careful as the housing's plastic and the threads can strip EASILY!!
I use a oil can to pump the oil into the reservoir.

That doesn't work?
Then you probably need a new pump.
The cheapo Chinese pumps are crap.
It might last 1 second or not work at all and then might work forever??(probably not)
They sell parts here, don't think they sell pumps.
The pump itself isn't something you can work on.
If you take it apart chances are it won't ever be right again.

There are 2 seals in the bottom of the pump.
These are the main reason for a leak down.
This is the only thing that you can work on. The 3rd. piece from the left has a rubber seal that goes bad and leaks.
Trying to fix these with out the right tools you can destroy them. The following links are repairs for the seals.
