That wire runs along the door bottom ,it is possible that you could have a short in it.It could have been pinched and worn through.Just something to check on.

The wires that run through the bottom are very corroded. Must be were I am getting my resistance. I will replace those this weekend if I have time. Let you know the results. And cleaning the contacts didn't help. Wheres the ground for the bulb?

yup, it should read the same or very close to what it reads when you touch the leads together or zero depending on caliberation, the higher the number the worse the wire. you can also check your grounds the same.
