Cool

It's easy to do a continuity check on each wire. if you have a V.O.M. just set for Ohms and put one lead on each end of each wire and check for resistance. No change on the display = bad wire.

I don t believe their is any bench test for the switch boxes. Without a DVA meter, best solution is to test fire on motor, if you find one is not firing, swap boxes and see if problem follows.

I hear you phat but instead of swapping boxes cause there are a lot of wires can I just swap the wire that is not firing to a wire that is firing? On the same side same box? The wire is green and white can I just get the wire for the plug that's right next to it so what I'm saying is if it is the switch box by me doing that then one would fire and the other (which is not firing ) will fire, I just don't know if I would screw something up by reversing the two wires.
