Yup.. it's on the roof of the car. I was kinda leaning towards damaged
coax or connector, but was wondering if there was something I could do
with an ohm meter or something to determine where the issue might be?

If it's a true 1/4-wave antenna, it won't have any matching
transformer. So you should see very low resistance from the center pin
of the coax connector to the antenna element, and a very high
resistance from the center pin to the shield. This will tell you if you
have an open or shorted cable.
