Go ahead and entertain yourself with multimeter resistance games, but Warren's advice still stands as the best you will get. Our vehicles are not as young as they used to be. Many, many car problems are electrical and most of them are problems with connections, positive or negative. Do yourself a favor in terms of preventing future problems and getting the best performance from your car by cleaning and tightening these connections. Use vinegar to clean the corrosion off, then use silicon grease to coat the surfaces. This will prevent air from reaching the metal, preventing the corrosion that tends to form on electrical contacts. Take a small needle nose pliar and carefully bend the ears of the female side of 1/4" spade, Faston connections until they fit very snugly onto the male portions. Do this with all the connections you can find. Even and especially the grounds.

Then stop thinking about continuity problems in your chassis.
