What kind of resistance are you seeing? Any dashboard clocks, courtesy
lights, etc. that would be energized if the battery were hooked up are
going to give you a finite resistance measurement. If you really do
have everything disconnected and still see a finite resistance, you may
have a short. If the measured resistance is on the order of hundreds of
ohms or more, you're unlikely to catch anything on fire by hooking it up
to see what happens.

Question: After restoring the fuse panel on an old Alfa, installing a rebuilt
engine and rewiring many accessories, lights, horn etc... Shouldn't there be
no-conductivity between pos and neg battery terminal leads? I've got
everything back together and am afeared to connect the battery because of
general circuit conductivity. Everything is turned off. Any ideas Digest?
