Can we do this? (aka The DIY Cruise Control Thread) - Toyota Yaris Forums

I do have a multimeter, and get a 630 ohm reading when I check the resistance at both ends of the resistors with both switches pressed.
The switches must be N.O. because if I dont press on both I dont get any reading. It's the 1st time I'm using a multimeter how can I verify the continuity of my switches??? thanks again

With the switches you should see a high value or OL when they are not pressed and 0 ohms when they are. Or, in circuit 0 when on/off is pressed an 630 ohms when set is pressed.

My friend, you might have found my problem !

- When on/off is pressed i get a 530 ohms reading
- When set is pressed, i get 624 ohms

I have no idea why I get this 530 ohms reading... I might make another set of switches since I have 2 other swithes a lot of resistors...

When in the Ohm setting, did you touch the two probes together and
get 0 Ohms? Just checking to see that the meter is calibrated, which
could throw off your readings.

Yes I did, my multimeter is brand new so its probably well calibrated...
