youll get continuity thru the motor. the contoller may not show continuity until its almost fully depressed. The lite wiring will show cont only with a good bulb and the switch on. And it may not be 0 resistance because the bulb filament has a small amount of tesistance. I test my reworked motors by leaving their cord long putting a temp plug on them do I can check them with an old style line wiring receptacle block. Also helps to plug into a gfci outlet even tho its not a grounded 3 prong plug, because theyLl trip faster
