I can't figure this out. Four position, 4 wire switch. Power wire(white) goes directly to the switch and also goes directly into the motor. Common (black) goes directly to the switch, nowhere else. Each of the other 2 switch wires go to capacitors. The other end of both capacitors join and go into the motor. So, that looks to me like the switch has two input and one output. With the switch removed there is 120vac between the white and black wires. Here it gets more strange; the white and black switch terminals have
0 resistance in all 3 on positions of the switch. This is tested with all the switch wires disconnected. Reconnecting the switch wires there is still 120vac between the white and black wires when the switch is in off position. However since all three on positions have 0 ohms resistance, there is no voltage between the white and black wires while connected to the switch in the on positions. This makes no since and it would also trip the circuit breaker, but it does not. What am I missing here?Thanks, paul
