Can anyone give me advice in repairing a shore power cord. When I determine that one of the wires does not have continuity from one plug to the other, it is usually the plug or the connection at the plug which needs to be replaced. However, I may not be able to visually determine which plug is bad. It then becomes a 50/50 guess. With the price of 50 amp plugs it is an expensive waste to cut off a good plug. I am almost tempted to make my own cords in the future so that the plugs are removable. Are there any tricks I am not aware of which could isolate the defective plug or connection.

Marty: If you can get your hands on a signal tracer, you can follow the wire until you come to the break. Failing a signal tracer, with an ohm-meter connected to the pins in question, you can vigorously flex the cord at one or the other plug and sometimes the broken ends inside the cable will temporarily touch giving an indication on the ohm-meter and you have nailed the culprit.
