WARNING
Be sure the key switch is in the OFF position to
reduce the possibility of electrical shock and personal
injury.
Remove the wire connecting the keyswitch to the
magnetic switch (marked S or Start) from the keyswitch
terminal.
Connect the positive (+) lead of digital multimeter, Part
Number 3377163, or equivalent, to the keyswitch terminal
and the negative (-) lead to a chassis or engine ground
location.
NOTE: Set the multimeter to indicate DC volts with the
keyswitch in the OFF position. There must be no voltage
at the keyswitch terminal. If the meter indicates voltage,
the keyswitch is malfunctioning and must be replaced.
