The easiest way is to disconnect both ends and use a multimeter on it. You can buy one for about $20. Usually though, it's not the cable that's the problem, but rather the connection between the cable and the terminal (on either end).

The starter on the northstar engines are located in the "V" of the block under the fuel injection ports. This starter can be removed by blocking the fuel injection up about three and one half inched above the motor allowing you to remove the battery cable and the two bolts from the starter.Hint: before attempting to remove the starter, make sure the battery cable is clean and making good contact. The starter cable is stacked on top of another cable.

Starter in your ford explorer not engaging you need to locate it and hit it with a hammer?

If the starter motor is spinning but not engaging it won't help to hit it with a hammer. The "starter drive" portion of the starter is shot. If all you get is a click or no noise at all, you might get lucky by hitting it, assuming the battery and all connections are good. This technique may work once or twice if the starter is at fault. The starter is located under the vehicle. You can follow the path of the positive battery cable from the battery to locate the starter. The positive battery cable will pass thru the starter solenoid on the inner fender then continue down to the starter.
