Remote testing the gp's

I am right in the middle of swapping out the gp's and just want to test the old units that I took out,,,,,,,,, here is what I did..... Jumper at threaded area of gp to - terminal of battery and jumper at + terminal to the top connection of the gp, with that done the gp should heat up? I did 4 that way and got nothing so is that safe to assume that I have 4 dead gp's?

Yep, they are dead. You can lay the body of the GP on the neg batt post and jumper the pos to the tip. Just one less wire to deal with.
