  3. Remove the four screws, then remove the switch from the door panel.
  4. Check for continuity between the terminals in each switch position according to the table.
    NOTE:
    • Make sure the correct test lead (+ or -) is placed on the terminal.
    • When checking for continuity across the diode, use the diode setting ( ) on the digital volt/ohm meter to check the diode bias.
    • Note this important operating characteristic; diode bias causes a diode to fully conduct electricity in one direction (forward), while not at all in the opposite direction (reverse).
