How to measure resistance
Choose the item whose resistance you wish to measure.
For the most accurate measurement, test the resistance of a component individually. Remove the component from the circuit or test it before you install it.
Testing the component while still in the circuit can cause inaccurate readings from other components. If you are testing a circuit or even just removing a component, be sure that all power to the circuit is turned off before proceeding.
