Dead heating element.

[rayband]

I have a 36 VDC heated stage that is dead. The input power checks OK, but the heating element itself shows dead short, 0 ohms resistance. An open circuit I could understand, but not a dead short. The leads & connections look OK, no obvious damage. What's going on here?

Haha!

I solder them into one of my products. Take too long or forget the multiple heat sinks... and the part works.
