Those with Contour Window switches

I picked up a set of Contour window switches from the JY for my 4th Gen console swap. Iv ohmed up and down and they work. However, I can't get the illumination to ohm out (or work).

According to schematics I found, the illumination circuit is purple to thin black wire. Doesn't ohm. Mine has a thin orange/blue wire coming off of them that I can't find in any diagrams, but it doesnt ohm out either for illumination. Are BOTH switches illumination bad or am I missing something?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

They might be LEDs therefore won’t “ohm” (show expected resistance readings).

Re-probe the wires, reversing the leads on each suspected lamp wire pair.

If the reading is different upon reversal you have found LEDs.
