    Can an MFI micro switch be tested??

    I have a micro switch that I would like to test because I do not want to sell something that is not working. Is there a way to test it? Can someone explain it to me? thanks

    You should be able to get a rough idea with a standard multimeter. Set it to the 100 ohm or lower setting and put one probe on each terminal. With the switch at rest the resistance should read off the scale or "open". When you press the button it should go down to a few ohms.
