b)Touch one of the ohmmeter test leads to the Common (C) pin, and the other lead to the Run (M) pin. The meter should indicate between 2 and 3 ohms.

4.To test the relay:

a)Position the relay with the coil facing down, as shown below.

b)Insert the tip on one of the ohmmeter test leads into the Run (M) pin socket, and touch the other ohmmeter lead to the spade terminal. The meter should indicate a closed circuit (0 ohms).

c)Move the tip of the ohmmeter test lead from the spade terminal into the Start

(S)pin socket. Leave the other ohm- meter lead at the Run (M) location. The meter should indicate an open circuit

(infinite).
