CHECKING SWITCH CONTINUITY
Check each switch for continuity with the
pocket tester. If the continuity reading is incor-
rect, check the wiring connections and if nec-
essary, replace the switch.
NOTICE
Never insert the tester probes into the cou-
pler terminal slots . Always insert the
probes from the opposite end of the cou-
pler, taking care not to loosen or damage
the leads.
TIP
• Befor
e checking for continuity, set the pocket
tester to “0” and to the “
Ω
x
1” range.
•
When checking for continuity, switch back
and forth between the switch positions a few
times.
The terminal connections for switches (e.g.,
main switch, engine stop switch) are shown in
an illustration similar to the one on the left.
The switch positions are shown in the far
left column and the switch lead colors are
shown in the top row in the switch illustration.
TIP
“
” indicates a continuity of electricity
between switch terminals (i.e., a closed circuit
at the respective switch position).
The example illustration on the left shows
that:
There is continuity between brown and red/blue
and red when the switch is set to “ON”.
