Chiller won't power ON ! Do I need water?

Got a cool used chiller.
It's a nice one, but it does not power on.

I do not have it hooked up...I was thinking that the lights would come on even if there is no water running through it, am I wrong?

Yeah. It's a good assumption that it should at least do that. What make and model?

It should turn on without water running through it. Some chillers have a built in fuse to protech against overloads. Perhaps it has blown. Also give us a model #, maybe it is a 220v version.
