I presume that you disconnected the feeder from the balun when you did
the DC Ohms test? If not, there is something wrong because you should

Here's an example of where the word "balun" blows up our thinking about
problem solving. The "balun" you're describing is a transformer,
sometimes called a voltage balun. Other things commonly called a "balun"
are a common mode choke, which should look like an open circuit at both
DC and RF.
The word "balun" should be eliminated from our use. I know of at least
ten very different things that are called a "balun."
