I have the Thermostat part no. 8318268 I checked the two larger terminals and it reads 0 like it should. When I check the two terminals in the center nothing happens. I do not get any reading at all. I saw on the internet that they should read 9 ohms. Should I be resetting the meater to try to get a reading for those terminals.
