Re: Testing a Throttle Position Sensor 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be David Hunter on  Thu Oct 4 11:27 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Steve I have tested that same switch with a meter and your simple brain has it figured exactly right. It is a double throw micro switch and you must see continuity from the common terminal (gnd in this case) to one or the other of the other terminals.I know from experience with micro swiches on older style computer equipment that just because they click it does mean there is contact internally. I think replace it if you can't get it to test OK.
