Testing s Switch

[RVA-Jeff]

Switch is off a Shopvac. I had to hold it down for it to work. It is buried under a heavy rubber cover that I thought may have just been limiting travel. Have it apart now (I'm better at mech stuff than elec...).

Where do I place ohm meter prongs to test switch for continuity.

Ayuh,.... The two on each side, should be closed when on, 'n open when off,...

One side is +, the other side -,.....

The contacts are worn out and pitted. No point in testing it. It's done.
