Multiple Switch

1987 Ford Cutaway 6.9 1SECTION Multiple Switch
  1. Remove switch from vehicle. Using an ohmmeter or self-powered test light, clip a test probe to pin No. 6, which is grounded. See Fig 1 . Place both switches in the released (neutral) position and test for continuity between pin No. 6 and pins No. 1 through 4.
  2. Push both switches upward. Pins No. 1 and No. 3 should lose continuity to pin No. 6. Push switches downward. Pins No. 2 and No. 4 should lose continuity to pin No. 6.
  3. Remove test probe from pin No. 6, and connect it to pin No. 5. With both switches in the released (neutral) position, no continuity should exist at remaining terminals.
  4. Push switches upward. Pins No. 1 and No. 3 should show continuity with pin No. 5. Push both switches downward. Pins No. 2 and No. 4 should have continuity with pin No. 5. If any switch does not test as indicated, replace complete switch assembly.
