IF YOU WANNA KNOW IF 2 CONNECT TOGETHER IN THE CONNECTOR

RUN A CONTINUITY TEST FROM THE "2 SIDE" TO THE "3 SIDE"

"HARBOR FRIEGHT" HAS DIGITAL VOLTMETERS STARTING AT $5-AUTO PARTS STORES ABOUT $20................A 12 VOLT TEST LIGHT $3-$20

I'VE USED A FLASHLIGHT---TURN ON THE FLASHLIGHT, REMOVE THE TAIL END, USE JUMPER WIRES FROM THE BODY---ANOTHER TO THE END OF THE BATTERY---------TOUCHING THE JUMPERS TOGETHER WILL LIGHT UP THE LIGHT.........TOUCHING THEM TO EITHER END OF SOMETHING CONDUCTIVE.....WILL TURN IT ON TOO

WAH-LAH! INSTANT AND CHEAP CONTINUITY TESTER!

GIVIN' YOU 3 HOMEMADE PICS OF HOW YOU CAN DO THIS......SORRY, DON'T HAVE ONE FOR THE FLASHLIGHT........IF YOU WANT, I CAN MAKE ONE....I AIN'T SKEERED!

LEMME KNOW HOW IT GOES

SORTA THOUGHT IT WOULD TELL YOU IF THE 3 WERE SEPARATE AND ONE WAS UNUSED

OR WHICH 2 HAD THE SAME CONTINUITY TO WHICH PIN ON THE OTHER SIDE
