The best way to test for bad connections is to use voltage drop testing. I have seen many cases where using an OHM meter across connectors (circuit off) that showed to be fine, but when you apply power to the circiut and get the heat buildup from the current, it will fail. You should see .00-.03 MAX drop across all connectors with the circuit operating. (this includes ground circuits) You can buy a special type of chemical, which I cant remember what the heck it is called, in which you put a couple of drops in each terminal and it chemically etches the terminals together for a good connection. (it comes in a small super glue sized tube and i know NAPA has it.) sp-7, paz-22 or something like that!!!!!
