You tested voltage with the key in ON(III), right? If so, check the ignition switch:

Continuity indicates low or no resistance (Ohms). So no, there are no voltage measurements. Just do all combinations of tests in a pairwise fashion on the disconnected switch as shown in the diagram. You are most interested in the continuity tests for ON(III).

Testing continuity between Bat and Blk/Wht (St) in ON(III) is what you are most interested in.

What is your multimeter set to read? Are you talking about continuity between Bat and Blk/Wt(ST) with key in ON(III)?
