Hello Iceman, to find the switching pattern I use a multimeter on unknown switches, switch it continuity "Bell", place your probes on any two contacts and rock the switch back and forth. Do all the combinations. Have a pad and pen handy. You will then soon known exactly how that switch works.
Common faults people make when testing ohmic values:
# poor contact with probes.
# wrong scale selected.
# placing what you want to measure in series with the probes.
Good luck with it.
