Thanks for the response Rich, Reading your suggestion, I realized that I might not check for shorts on the final product. I fave rechecked it - no opens, no shorts.
Multimeter is a device for two point measuring voltage, current, resistance, etc. Mine also has a beeper that is what I used. So, I clamped the re-crimped ends and measured the continuity and shorts with the 2 probes. I did have one bad continuity along the way caused by wire cut by my crimping tool wire end cutter. Not anymore.
