What car do you have again? They vary between having one part with both switches and having two separate switches.
Also, checking continuity rather than voltage is a better way to check a switch. It should vary between an open circuit (infinite ohms) and a closed circuit with close to 0 ohms. Checking voltage is valid, but only if the voltage supply and ground are known to be perfect.
