Ohms of Plug Wires ??

Can anyone here tell me what I all need and how you are suppose to check the ohms of your plug wires... I'm afraid a few might of gotten fried or might be bad. I already have two sets of wires so I figured if ones bad I'll just steal it outta the other set cause I don't wanna buy a whole new set when I already have two. I looked in my chilton and understand how many ohms they are suppose to be just needa know how to do it... thx..

You need an ohm meter...but suggest you get a DMM, so you have the ability to not only check ohms, but voltage and current as well...digitally ofcourse


Once you have a meter, select the "ohms" range...looks kinda like an upside down "U".

Connect one lead to one end, the other lead to the other end of the wire and a reading will be displayed...depending on the type of meter you may have to select a "range" to be read...

i/e some meteres will have different selections...like 0-10, 0-1000, 0-10,000, etc. If your meter has an auto-select feature, you're good to go, just note the digits it reads.

BTW, DMM is "Digital Multi Meter".
