Testing Wiper Switch Continuity
As I understand "continuity", a "0" reading on the ohmmeter indicates no continuity, i.e. no connection between the two points
0 ohms is perfect continuity, meaning there is no resistance to the flow of electrons
1,000 ohms is a lot of resistance, but many electrons will flow through it.
1,000,000 is so much resistance there is almost no electrons passing through it.
"OL" (so much resistance the meter can not display it) is the typical indicator of an open connection no connection from one point to the other, no electrons will moving from one point to another.
Think of it like this.
If the ohm meter leads are not touching what does the meter read.
If you touch the leads together what does the meter read.
A reading of 0 to 0.5 ohms is basically good continuity or connection.
1 to 5 ohms is a bad connection and needing to be resolved.
Looking at the instructions in the FSM it looks like the test is looking for as close to 0 ohms as possible between
B and B/U
B/U and P
etc.
In the switches respective positions
The difference is that between
A and F1 the resistance should be variable as the lever is moved.
"P - Open" is odd as it is not being checked between another point.
