If it were me, and I had it out, I'd replace it. To test, try this https://www.dieselbombers.com/ford-p...tml#post537961

You could hook some jumper cables to it and see if it lights up...

I would just replace them. You know they are working then.

Also if you have an amp clamp clamp it around the around wire to the plug, if its drawing amps it's working. If its burnt up it won't draw any amps.
