I remember in my Basic Electronics courses at Keesler AFB, waaaaay back in the "brown shoe days" that resisters in parallel have less resistance than they do in series. I always thought that was odd, but they simply limit the current. Since electricity always takes the path of least resistance, parallel resisters offer two paths for current.

This may not have had anything to do with your situation, but you mentioned resistance readings and what you did affected the resistance values you were checking.
