Use a VOM. First for continuity, and then for ohms.

You'll see if any are much different than others easily enough. These connectors have a long cylinder of what looks like graphite inside, with spring tension keeping its ends pressed against metal bits which stick through the ends. If it doesn't make good connection at both ends after a long hard life, it can stop working properly.
