There won't be a connection on the multiplug as you need to break into the the circuit between the button and the readout and thats all internal.

Im still going to check

I think the mod is very useful for what I want..

Basically you can buy a cheap multimeter from a place like Maplins for a fiver, its pretty crap as meters go, but will do this job no problem. You put the meter onto a setting which measures resistance. Touch the meter leads together and the display will show 0 and the meter may also make a beep to show you have a circuit or "continuity"

Shaggs... I have bought one of these for £5 off ebay.. Which setting do I now put it on to check the resistance?

[Boomer]

Use the red one at the bottom next to hFE.
That's the continuity beeper.
If it beeps you have zero resistance, or thereabouts.

[Debs]

Thank you Boomer...

Just tried it by touching ends together and it beeped...

Nice one Debs, good luck with it all.

Ok here goes... I checked to see if one of the pins was connected to the solder point but unfortunately they are not .. There are 3 spare pins which must have been used on the later modals. It was worth checking and I am glad I did 

Anyway Ive soldered a wire on and checked to see if it worked.. Yay it does... Just need to order the switch I have seen.. 

[shaggs147]

Nice one Debs.
At least you have a multimeter to use when you re-wire your house or whatever project you're going to take on next 

[Debs]

Already used it for something else... Bought a push bike for my flat mate.. Broke a wire on the lights thats lit by dynamo.. used the Multimeter to find the break in the wire 

[Debs]

Ive now fitted the switch and very happy with it... All works fine 

Switch didn't say it was waterproof but I have put Vaseline around where it pushes in to keep the water out 

You can buy the switch from ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300749835347?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_2295wt_1190
