Check for continuity between the main contacts without power applied to the coil wires. There shouldn't be continuity.
Then apply 12V to the coil wires, check for continuity between the main contacts. Now there should be continuity. If both conditions are met then the contactor is working. If either condition is not met then the contactor is not working. This will only confirm if the contactor is working. Not anything else.
For what it is worth the contactors from batteryhookup appear dusty too, they do have the connector on the coil wire. I haven't tried to find a matching connector yet. All the ones i have from BHU work.
