It sounds like the test is measuring the resistance from the power input to the case ground on the MSD. Ideally there would be no connection. If it measures 3k or lower, there's a connection to ground internally (which apparently is a bad thing).
I'm not quite sure how it could damage the meter, but I would agree it would be best to disconnect the input before doing the test. Otherwise, you're also measuring the resistance to ground of any other device that's also hooked to the battery + terminal.
Quote: Bat: 12.1v VR: Both green and blue showed 11.9v Both Alt Field wires showed 14.1v!!!! How in the He99 can I get a reading at the alt field wires that showes a voltage 2v higher than the VR and the battery feed with the engine off????? (Engine off, key at the RUN position) Do I have an electrical transformer under my hood?
What were you measuring when you say the Alt field wires? Those should be the same as the green and blue wires. Otherwise, I have n idea how you measured 14v
If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
