[QUOTE="ChopTop84, post: 1556064, member: 19210"] Its damn near a direct short. Starter motors are HUGE current draws, so to get that kind of current out of a 12v battery, your resistance is going to be next to nothing. Power into the B+, thru the limited amount of copper windings, and then those windings finally go to ground via the starter case. So yes, you will get continuity. A locked/stalled starter motor can reach upwards of 300 amps. Its possible the motor is a little tight, or you held the starter too long while trying to make the motor run. Could be cheap starter relays too. not sure what your using. Do you have a clamp on style amp meter? That would tell you real quick what your drawing. [/QUOTE]
