I'm using a borrowed Cen-Tech digital Multimeter. Not top of the line
but probably not the cheapest out there either.

Set to 2000 ohms, with the two probes touched together, the reading
vacillates between "001" and "000" (no decimal)

When directly touching the heater core with the probes I get:

on 20k ohms (20,000), the multimeter reads: "0.00"

on 2000 it reads: "010" (no decimal)

on 200 it reads: "00.5 or 00.6"

Is it safe to assume the core is cooked?
