I have finished my Crack, but for the resistance check everything is fine, except Terminal 3, 8, 14, 20, 22 and RCA around lug,  I get 1,5 Ohm on them. Checked all wirering and soldering , and i dont find any faults. Any ideas, or can i just continue?

Resistance is measured in ohms not volts. Make sure your meter is set correctly and repeat the complete resistance check. DO NOT proceed until your resistance checks are all good. They are there to prevent damage to components due to wiring or soldering mistakes when power is applied to the kit.

My mistake in writing. I know it is Ohm, and the multimeter is correct set.
Is it likely it is soldering?
Just wondering, as i mesure 1,5 Ohm everywhere where it should be 0. If it was a bad soldering spot, it would only have been in some areas.
I keep the black pen on terminal 12 as recommended, but have also tried it on Saftyground, and with same result.]

What resistance do you get when you touch the red and black meter probes together?

Spot on, Caucasian. Exactly the same, so i have meter with a 1,5 Ohm in fail margin.
I proceeded to Voltage test, and it also worked out fine, so now am listening to my new Crack :)
Thank you for good input.
