checking ignition switch

Post by 69rangerman »

The motor is out, the battery is dead/and out. The ignition switch is out.

Is there a way to check the switch out of the truck with a volt meter or self powered cont. tester? etc.

Sorry if this is a dumb one..I can barely even spell elektrikitee.

Thanks.

It's amazing some of the cool stuff you'll find in the factory shop manuals. ;)

Man, back in the day the factory had it together! That's perfect Keith thanks!. The only difference is mine is a bullet type but surely it works the same.

Thanks again.

Thanks again Keith,

I checked tonight and it looks good. I have the bullet type and had to stare at the diagram and fiddle a bit before determining what was what but once I had it figured it worked.
