Need some help from the M46 OD guys. This is related to a post I wrote yesterday about the OD functioning intermittently on my 81 M46. Duane suggested that I get under the car with VOM set to ohms, shifter in fourth. Check red wire to ground. Wiggle shifter. If continuity is not maintained, 4th gear switch is bad.

Right now I've got the battery out of the car. I'm assuming the battery needs to be installed with the key on, and the red wire connected to switch for the test? I know these are beginner questions so thanks for the patience and extra detail.

Thanks to everyone for all the help given,
Doug C. 81 242 Brick on Blocks, stock; 86 240, 129k, smashed quarter panel.
