I was checking the plug with an ohm meter to see if/where the plug slots connect with the terminal box on the fender, and I noticed that two of the slots on the alternator plug have zero resistance to one terminal (the frontmost one) the terminal box. When I tested right at the slots on the plug, the two large slots on the plug have zero ohms of resistance to eachother... that doesn't make sense to me (ie: why have two slots on a plug with seperate wires if they go to the same place?) but suffice to say I know next to nothing about how the charging system works, so feel free anyone to enlighten me.

The gist of my question: Is that how the plug is supposed to be, are the two big slots on the alternator plug supposed to be connected to eachother?

Super Thanks
