Pickup Coil Help Needed

[samri79]

Just measured mine... 234 Ohms

 

Reason I asked about your meter was in case the resistance to be measured was very low. The smaller the resistance the better quality the meter required to be accurate. 234 Ohms should be manageable with any quality meter (or at least give a ballpark value)

 

It may be shorted, but it's a passive component and doesn't carry much current. It's wires pass a couple of grommets. It would be worth taking it off and checking there's no short in the wiring, to themselves or to ground

Yes it should be between 184-276 @ 20 degrees centigrade according to the book of lies, I do have a decent meter and it was set on 200 but I'm going to give it amother go because I'm doubting myself now
