OVP - How do you test for defect?

My 96 C280 won't start; I checked the OVP and it is the newer part number 000 540 67 45 and it appear OK on the outside (i.e., the 15 amp fuse appears OK and I did not detect any electrical paths on the electrical socket nibs). Is there a test I can do on the OVP or is it just best to replace? There were zero warnings for the failure to start - tried to start the other morning and although it seemed at first to catch while cranking over, it never did. The inside mirror does not flash in any manner while cranking and when I turn the key on I believe I hear the fuel pump pressure up in the back for about 2 or 3 seconds.
Any help/recommendations will be appreciated.
Thanks
