The kickdown solenoid is on the passenger side rear of the tranny. If the wire is chafed or loose it could short to ground whenever the switch is closed. There might be a zip-tie holding it.
I don't have info or a good switch to compare to regarding measurements but I think the switch itself when disconnected should probably be infinite ohms when open (sitting there) and zero ohms when closed (depressed). 0.4 may simply be a poor/dirty probe connection.
Do you go full-throttle a lot? My understanding is that's how the kickdown is supposed to be adjusted. There's a depth adjustment with the threaded collar.
