Well, I've not used one, so I'm guessing based solely on electronic 
logic.  Hopefully, if I'm wrong, someone will correct me.

1)  If the cable was miswired by crossing two cables, then I'd expect 
the lights at one end, most probably the remote end, to light in the 
wrong order.

2)  If you have a short at one end, I'd expect two lights to be on at 
the same time at least at that end, probably at both.

3)  If you have an open circuit, I'd expect the corresponding light at 
one end or the other to fail to light.

But let's see if anyone can confirm what actually happens based on 
actual experience.
