Can they be readily checked with an ohmmeter? I think it is a .2 ohm resistor. Thanks.
When this resistor is cracked, it won't necessarily stop it from working, but it probably won't work for much longer. I think what causes this is simply age and/or getting really hot and then wet (thermal shock).
