THERMO-Time Switch

Unplug connector from thermo-time switch and use ohmmeter across terminals. Reading should be very low or zero ohms. Use stop watch and apply voltage to terminal "G" of switch. Compare delay time with THERMO-TIME SWITCH SPECIFICATIONS table. If time delay is clearly outside of specifications given in table, replace unit. See Fig 3.

NOTE: If coolant temperature is above 50°F (10°C), connect ohmmeter between terminal "W" of switch and ground. Reading should be either very high or infinity.
