Testing the Drive Switch.

•Remove the access plate on the right side of the drive handle. Test the
switch that is connected to the red and white wires coming from the main
harness. The blue and black connection should test open until the switch is
activated. It should close when it is activated. If it doesn’t replace the switch.
