Success. First of all, thank you all for all your help and advice. The quick response from you guys was incredible.
Turned out to be a fuse after all. Glass fuse. Visual inspection looked good. Continuity test passed. Turned out to have fine break. Found it by chasing voltage to fuse block. Glad I took the time instead of ordering a bunch of parts. Still confused as to why 1 coil test according to spec and the other doesn't though. Just glad my baby is back up. Gonna take a test run and try her out.
