Default how do you test a resistor box?

I'd like to make sure that the resistor boxs that I pulled from a junkyard still work well. How can I test them to make sure they still work good?

Measure resistance over the input (yellow wire) and one of the output (red wires, doesn't matter which one) with an Ohmmeter... Peace

all you can do is do what he said and make sure that the electronics work and that electricity goes through the box.

Make sure you have a good tester, if you have a cheap one then more then likly it will show nothing unless you have a good one. Since the resistance is so little.

sorry to bring this back up, my resistor box has 1 red wire and four black, pulled from integra ls. I measures the resistance from the red to each of the black wires and its 6.1. What should it be? I have read that you could wire 10 ohm resistors inline. Should the resistors measure 10 ohms?
