Check each switch for continuity with the pocket tester. If the continuity reading is incorrect, check
the wiring connections and if necessary, replace the switch.

NOTICE
Never insert the tester probes into the coupler terminal slots “1”. Always insert the probes
from the opposite end of the coupler, taking care not to loosen or damage the leads.
TIP
• Before checking for continuity, set the pocket tester range to “ 1” to make a “0” adjustment.
• When checking for continuity, switch back and forth between the switch positions a few times.
Terminal connections of the switch are shown in the terminal connection diagram below.
The switch positions “a” are shown in the far left column and the switch lead colors are shown in the
top row in the switch illustration.
TIP
“ ” indicates continuity between switch terminals (i.e., a closed circuit at each switch posi-
tion).
The example illustration below shows that:
There is continuity between red and brown when the switch is “ON”.Pocket tester
