OK stupid question, but I will ask anyway.

The on/off/volume control has 3 connectors on the top and 2 on the back face.

I am assuming you are talking about the "outside" connectors of the 3 on top.

I am assuming that the 2 connectors on the back face are for the on/off switch part.

Additionally, when you say
Quote:disconnecting one end
, I am assuming you mean disconnect the wires on one of the outside connectors, but it is ok to leave the other wires connected. Is this correct ?

As far as measing the resistance, what am I looking for, if it is bad ?
