1 TGPI / GPI troubleshooting (SOLVED) Thu Jul 29, 2021 11:26 pm

hello!
having an issue with a neutral indicator on an aftermarket gauge. in the hopes of someday solving the issue, i've begun troubleshooting individual components to try and isolate the culprit. first up, the TGPI switch itself.
today, after reading through various posts here and at motobrick, i came across a reply from robmack / RBM for how to test the switch. using a multimeter, i began testing for continuity at the male connector for the TGPI where it attaches to the main harness (touching the black lead to the male ground and the red lead to the various yellow/xxx male pins).
robmack / RBM supplied this image of what continuity readings should be on a properly functioning GPI...
my readings came out quite different, however... which is odd because it's a brand new TGPI switch...
so some initial questions:
any help is greatly appreciated.

so some initial questions:
- any ideas why the readings are this off? (is it possible the TGPI is mis-aligned inside the housing?)
- has anyone ever encountered similar readings?
any help is greatly appreciated.
