No electrical resistance should be indicated (test lamp
on) between two connected terminals. The maximum
voltage drop between any two connected terminals, as
shown in the Ignition Switch Chart, should not exceed
12.5 millivolts per amp. For example: If a 10-amp load is
drawn through the switch, maximum voltage drop
should be 10 x 0.0125 or 0.125 volt.
