The measurement was taken with the connector off the car. It was done with the resistor in place and without it.

This is what I had inside working with. (not my picture but close enough)



Wasn't trying to start a argument just trying to point out a nuance of doing this DIY.

Not arguing (at least I wasn't). Just throwing around some ideas, trying to figure out why you're not reading 4.7 ohms.

I studied electronics to work on my guitar amps. For the record you can't measure electrical components (capacitors, resistors) while they are attached in circuit. You have to remove them and measure them individually. You will never get a correct reading while the component is soldered in place in the circuit. It's a pain but that's the way it is.
