Should have some resistance....... that wire DOES provide power to O2 sensor heaters, and the field windings on the alt as well.

Welp, plug in a good PCM, and see if it will run now........ That does seem seriously odd though. One would think that dodge would be aware of just such a possibility, and plan accordingly.... but, strange as it may seem, I have been wrong before..... *gasp*
