[QUOTE="yamafitter, post: 1089980, member: 15141"] You have the range on the meter set too low which is why you are reading what would normally indicate an open circuit. The range you have selected is from 0 to 2000 ohms (2 KΩ) but what the sensor will read is higher than that ( 4000 - 6000 ohms or 4 KΩ to 6 KΩ) which is why you are reading OL or in this case over range. Try again and select a higher range on your meter (hopefully it has one). When you measure across the outer terminals you are measuring the resistance of the resistor winding that the wiper (center terminal) sweeps across. The closer the wiper is to one end of the winding the lower the resistance on that terminal and the wiper (center) terminal. I hope this makes some sense to you. [/QUOTE]
