The DC resistance between any two pins with any polarity is much higher than I would have expected: thousands of ohms.


Others have already mentioned:
 - It's probably a brushless motor
 - Three wires are probably power, ground, and tachometer

The reason you see an unexpectedly high resistance across the power leads is because there are active electronics inside the thing to commutate the brushless motor. You're not measuring a motor winding.

I say if you have a red and black wire, hook that up to +5 VDC and see if she spins.
