<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">You can't really check them with a digital multimeter because the voltage on the original VS goes up and down so that it averages the proper amount, which should be something like 10 vdc. The modern
ones use a solid state circuit to provide the voltage, not sure how you might "read" one of them. That said, am old fashioned multi meter (with an indicator needle) would probably work with the original-style VS. A test light would also be okay for testing,
the inlet should be "brighter" because it's a higher voltage than the output... but a test light would be a good way to test, if you have a test light.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
