How do we statically test (ohn meter or continuity tester) a column turn signal switch un-installed?

3 wires
Black w/green & white stripe (common) Black w/ green stripe Black w/ white stripe Test continuity between the common to one of the other two while the switch is turned. EDIT: you may have to disconnect all three from the circuit to get an accurate reading. |

I have continuity on those pins (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Do you happen to know whitch pin should have continuity when tested against common for the high beam? |

High beam does not go through the turn signal switch. There is a brown/white or brown/yellow from the switch that is a momentary ground when the switch is pulled. This ground triggers the relay which is electro-mechnaical. There is a toggle cam inside that is designed to switch directions each time the switch is pulled. There is a spring that can wear and prevent the Hi/Lo relay from working correctly. |
