If the switch is closed (connected) the voltage across it will read 0V. If the switch is open (disconnected) the voltage across it could be anything, it just depends on what the voltage between the wires going into the switch is.
When you switch a voltmeter from a lower to a higher voltage range, an additional resistor is added in series with the meter, increasing the voltage necessary to create the same voltage drop across or current flow through the actual meter movement.
You mean fastest? Digital voltmeter gives reading in seconds.
why is extention
A voltmeter is a measuring instrument that is used in the measurement of the electric potential in volts.
When the switch is open, the voltmeter measures the potential difference or voltage across the two points connected by the switch, as no current flows through the circuit. This measured voltage is often referred to as the open-circuit voltage.
Check for a bad fuse. If fuse is fine pop off the switch and check the switch with a voltmeter. Also check for voltage (12 Volt) to the switch with the voltmeter. If all is well to this point move to the roof motor and repeat tests.
Both Technician A and Technician B are correct in their statements. Technician A is right that a voltmeter can monitor the action of a switch by measuring the voltage across it when the switch is in operation. Technician B is also correct, as measuring the resistance across the switch can verify its continuity when it is in the closed position.
You either have a bad switch or you need to check your fuse or relay for your a/c. To check your switch: you need a multimeter or voltmeter. You'll need to get to the back of your switch, keep it plugged in and find your power wire to the switch. Then put the positive end of the voltmeter in the back of the connector into the power(don't push to hard or you'll damage the connector). Then put the negative end of the voltmeter on a good ground on your frame or something that touches your frame. You should get a voltage reading of 12 volts. If there's no voltage than somethings wrong with the wiring up to your switch. If there is voltage, than you need a new switch.
If the switch is closed (connected) the voltage across it will read 0V. If the switch is open (disconnected) the voltage across it could be anything, it just depends on what the voltage between the wires going into the switch is.
If the dim lights are continuously staying on there may be an issue with the dimmer switch. The actual switch may be jammed in the on position. Check the switch with a voltmeter and see if there is continuous power coming from it.

I have to suggest the light switch is bad. A simple voltmeter or test light may help you test voltages. I have to suggest the light switch is bad. A simple voltmeter or test light may help you test voltages.
there is a symbol of bulb,galvanometer,voltmeter,ammeter,gong,paperclip,switch,wire,solenoid,bulb and armature
It is the maximum voltage to which it has been calibrated, but this may be set out in separate ranges selected by a switch on the front panel.
No. Voltmeter in parallel. Ammeter in series.
It is a voltmeter which can only measure direct current.
