Thank you. I have an update.
I put one end of my meter on a known ground and moving around to various point on the chassis I and not getting dead short as I would expect. To make sure I am using the right lingo, I put my meter on continuity testing and in some spots it beeps and goes down to ZERO.. in others it beeps and lingers in the 1,2,5,10ohm space. This leads me to believe I have something not grounded properly or shorted out to ground which could explain my problem. I will systematically remove wires until this condition is corrected.
Fortunately I found a cheap parts unit of the 84 and have a comparison point now.. the new one , has dead short all around.
