Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) How do you test the grid heaters?

[Sticks]

The last couple of mornings when I have been starting up to go to work, the "Wait to Start" light only goes on for about 3 seconds. The morning temps have been in the high 40*'s low 50*'s. I get a little puff of white smoke on startup and the engine sounds REALLY quiet. The grid heaters are not cycling during the warm up either (no intermittent volt meter movement).



I checked the ground wires, and the hot wires, and they are tight. I will try removing them and cleaning them to see if that does anything.



I was wondering if there was a way to test them with out having to wait for a really cold morning.

Sticks,



I imagine you can just do an ohm test to make sure they have resistance.
