I purchased a used clockspring after I broke mine and wanted to check it before I got too far along with it.

Totally out of the car and unhooked, the 2 terminals for incoming power read 0hms between each other. Does that seem right? I thought that the detonator was activated by flowing power between the two pins, not between both pins and ground.

700/900 clockspring. The part number is 3516420.

I can't find any kind of spec for the resistance between terminals nor from end to end. It is basically just a wire, but still it seems a little wrong.
