Results
If the switch is functional, zero
ohms continuity. Any
resistance other than zero or
very low ohms, replace the
switch.
If the switch is functional, zero
ohms continuity. Any
resistance other than zero or
very low ohms, replace the
switch.
If functional, 85 ohms. Low
resistance, shorted C relay
coil and/or wiring. High
resistance, open C relay
and/or wiring.
If functional, approximately
0.5--0.6 ohms at 27_C (80_F)
If functional, zero or very low
ohms. No reading (infinity),
open circuit or circuit breaker
tripped.
