[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 67417, member: 82"] By zero, you mean there is no reistance there? or very low resistance. You should still see some resistance with a meter, the wires and switch contacts will lower the resistance, even just a little bit. It sounds like it is open circuit. Get the meter, hold the probes together, what reading do you get? it's rare to get zero, the higher end ones you can zero though. The reading you get with the probes shorted out is the sort of value you are looking for when the switch is activated. It will be a little higher from the resistance in the wire. It's sounding more and more like it is the switch in the handle. If you knew what one was what, you could start the machine and use a jumper wire to see if it activated the aux hydraulics. Then you know for sure it is the switch in the handle. [/QUOTE]
