NOTE: Before installing kit, test switches to verify proper electrical operation. Kit
repairs laminate disc and seal failures only; it will not rectify electrical breakdown. Figure 1

1. Testing Switches
a. Testing 6T70/75 switches: Locate five-pin pressure switch terminals (Figure
1). Ground pin is all the way to the left; moving to the right, each pin is power
supply for an individual switch (Figure 2). Place negative ohmmeter lead on
ground pin and positive lead on a power supply pin. At rest, each switch should
read between .5 and 10 ohms. Depressing switch with pencil eraser should
result in O.L. reading.
b. Testing 6L45–6L90 switches: Remove gasket plate to expose switch circuits.
Ground is outer right leg; place negative ohmmeter lead on this blade. The plastic Figure 2
cover has pinholes which can be
used to rest the tip of the probe Figure 3
(Figure 3). Positive lead should
be placed on one of the other
four legs, which carry power
for individual switches. At Ground
rest, each switch should read be- Pin
tween .5 and 10 ohms. De-
pressing switch with pencil eras-
er should result in O.L. reading.

c. If testing is successful, proceed Power Supply
