- There should be continuity between the terminals > No. 2 and No. 3 (body ground) with the switch in the ON position.
- There should be no continuity between the terminals No. 1 and No. 2, and between the terminals No. 2 and No. 3 (body ground) with the switch in the OFF position.
If the continuity is not as specified, check the bulb. If the bulb is OK, replace the ceiling light.
