brav,

Put the ohmeter leads accross the terminals on the heater element and test for continunity. I would think it would be 10 to 50 ohms.

If the heater terminal test shows the element to be good, then the cord or the terminals are bad or corroded. The reading at the plug male terminals should be same resistance as across the heater termials if the cord and its teminals at the heater are OK.
