How are you measuring it and what is the resistance to the chassis when you test it to the ground lug where all the brown wires on the driver side inner fender bolt to? Make sure you have a good, clean ground when you test it.
Good luck
Rudy,
Looking at the connector style shown in the service manual it dosent match the pic from the car... but that IS the only connector that uses those colors.... it probably is brown and brown/red.... not orange... and it likely is in the right area for the hood ajar...though I have never seen that one... (and I have driven with my hood un-latched a couple of times....)
