help identifying a resistor value

Can someone help me identify a busted resistor in first picture, it's shorted so I cannot read it with multimeter. It's to a Milwaukee 12v battery charger.

I cannot tell which end to start reading from, I know the ones closer together are read first but these look equidistant to me. It's either 1M ohms or 140 ohms. guessing 1M, but want input b4 soldering in

Second picture is a resistor 2 spots over that is 1.5m ohms as the brown green and black are closer to each other than the yellow. But on the first one, all look same distance to me.

Hi @chrisguzek

What is the model number of the charger?

Looking at a zoomed in view of the 1st image it appears that the brown band is marginally closer to the black band than the brown band at the other end is to the yellow band so that would make it a 1M Ohm 1% tolerance resistor.

Maybe the best option is to get both i.e. the 1M Ohm and the 140 Ohm and install the 1M first and check if the charger works OK.

Thinking it would either not work or would cause less damage if it is the wrong one than vise versa.
