Resistance question when detecting a short?

[shizzzon 461]

I was out in my car today doin some work to it and decided to measure resistance on connections.

I measured somethin interesting and don't know what it means so am hoping somebody here might.

I removed all wire going to positive battery terminal under the hood except for factory wiring.

When testing factory wiring to ground, i get a reading of 1,320 - 1,780 ohms.

What does that mean? Apparently, is does mean power is touching ground but in the most least resistance possible.

How low of a resistance reading does a connection have to be to start causing battery damage?

No, it doesn't mean that, you're measuring some of the input resistances of the electronic circuits in the car.

Go measure the input terminals of the amplifier. See if it is what you think it is.

You could have chose a far better title. Moving to Automotive and Performance since this is vehicle electrical related.

Yep definitely not a short
