Switch Assembly

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Be sure there is continuity between the terminals S and M, and between terminal S and ground. Use a circuit tester (set in "ohm").

Also check to be sure there is no continuity between terminal M and B.

Terminal/Specified resistance:

S - M/Less than 1ohm

S - Ground/Less than 1ohm

M - B/More than 1 Mohm
