Re: [DML] Re: 3 post idle microswitch

[DMCVIN6683 <dmcvin6683@xxxxxxxxx>]

This guy was treated  very unfairly buy some members of this forum 
and i have to speak my mind about this subject.

Cain asked a simple question that deserved a simple answer, nothing 
more.

If the simple answer was too hard for him to understand i am sure he 
would of posted again stating he didnt understand what you meant.

This forum is starting to get filled with people assuming others are 
idiots and dont know what they are doing.

Lets start giving straight to the point answers here and if we dont 
understand the answers i am sure who ever doesn't understand will ask 
you to explain then.

He didnt ask to diagnose the problem or even how to fish but he was 
told how to.

Cain asked a simple question and he was treated like an idiot.

This was his simple question.....

  "I have a Specialtauto idle microswitch. The original microswitch has
  2 prongs. One the top it is labeled C and on the bottom it is labeled
  NC NO. On the SpecialTauto microswitch it has three prongs. Common,
  normally open and normally closed.

  Can someone using this microswitch tell me the proper connection,
  normally open or normally closed? "

Was this too hard for you all to answer normally open or normally 
closed?
