If you have a volt meter you turn the thing on to read Ohms and like any piece of copper wire, the resistance should be "0" when you touch one end of the wire and the other with the meter. If you have high resistance, that would mean that you either have crud on the ends or that the current is escaping into the insulation or you have crimped wire causing the resistance to increase. The resistor plugs from what I understood were just to keep the electronic noise down so you didn't have that buzz on the radio.......
