Caution: Be sure the starting motor switch is in the “ OFF” position to prevent electrical shock and personal injury.
Remove the cable connecting the magnetic switch to the starting motor solenoid from the magnetic switch terminal.
Connect the leads of Part No. 3376898 Digital Multimeter or equivalent to the two large switch terminals.
Set the multimeter to measure resistance (OHMS).
With the starting motor switch in the “ O FF” position, the multimeter must indicate resistance at infinity.
Turn the starting motor switch to the “ START” position.
The multimeter must indicate zero (“ 0 ”) or very little resistance.
If the multimeter indicates resistance at infinity with the starting motor switch in the “ START” position:
• Turn the starting motor switch to the “O FF’ ’ position.
• Set the multimeter scale to read DC voltage.
• Connect one multimeter lead to the magnetic switch terminal marked “S ” and the other lead to the ground.
• Turn the starting motor switch to the “START” position.
• If the multimeter indicates no voltage, the magnetic switch is not the cause o f the complaint. Refer to
“Starting Motor Switch – Check” in this Procedure.
• Turn the starting motor switch to the “OFF” position.
• Remove the multimeter leads and connect the magnetic switch to the starting motor solenoid wire.
