Please explain what you mean by "getting only a couple resistance 
measurements"
Does that mean that only a couple are correct?
Or does it mean that you can only accomplish a couple resistance 
measurements?
A resistance measurement of zero is a valid measurement, and generally 
indicates a short unless the expected resistance is zero.
A resistance measurement greater than the set range of your ohmmeter may 
also be valid, just increase the ohmmeter range to obtain a measurement.

Be aware of the ">" sign in the expected measurement - that means 
'greater than'.  A measurement considerably greater than that value is OK.

A lot depends on your particular ohmmeter.  Consult the meter's 
instructions to see how it displays values greater than the set range.

What I am saying is that you may or may not have a problem, but you did 
not convey enough information to make a valid decision.
