VVIRING CIRCUIT TESTING
4. Connect one lead of the ohmmeter to a
horizontally-oriented terminal on the light
swi tch and the other lead to a
vertically-oriented terminal, Fig. IV-35.
Ohmmeter is to register open. Check
remaining vertically-oriented terminal in same
manner, Fig. IV-35.

5. If ohmmeter does not register OPEN, the light
switch is defective and is to be replaced. If the
ohmmeter registers OPEN, proceed to step 6.
6. Move the light switch to the ON position.
Ohmmeter is to register CLOSED .
7. If ohmmeter registers CLOSED, the light
switch is acceptable. If the ohmmeter does
not register CLOSED, the light switch is
defective and is to be replaced.
8. Check the brake switch and dimmer switch
(see Check Brake Switch and Dimmer Switch,
page IV-20).

Equipment Necessary: Electro-Specialties
Ohmmeter Model No. PC-2
1. Shut engine off.
2. Disconnect the single black wire that runs to
dimmer switch from the light switch, Fig.
IV-6.
3. Disconnect the T-shaped connectors that hold
the two wires running to the dimmer switch,
Fig. IV-8.
4. Disconnect the Z-shaped connectors that hold
two wires running to the brake switch, Fig.
IV-7.

5. Connect one lead of the ohmmeter to a
terminal in the Z-shaped connector, and the
other lead to the remaining terminal in the
Z-shaped connector holding the two wires
running to the brake switch, Fig. IV-36.
Ohmmeter is to register OPEN.

6. If ohmmeter does not register OPEN, the
switch is defective and is to be replaced. I f the
ohmmeter registers OPEN, proceed to step 7.
7. Squeeze the brake lever. Ohmmeter is to
register CLOSED, Fig. I V -36.
8. If ohmmeter registers CLOSED, the brake
switch is acceptable and indicates a possible
dimmer switch problem (see step 9). If the
ohmmeter does not register CLOSED, the
brake switch is defective and is to be re-
placed.
9. Connect one lead of the ohmmeter to the
long black wire that was disconnected from
the light switch, and the other lead to the
black wire terminal in the T -shaped connector
holding the two wires running to the dimmer
switch, Fig. IV-37. Move the dimmer switch
to low beam. Ohmmeter is to register OPEN.
