I was looking in the merc manual and couldn't find a resistance value there either. However I agree with the others above, chances are good that they are the originals, so just replace them.

I've always done the ohm thing, just like a Compression Test......

Not so much the Actual #,........ Just a nice close Range of #s...........:love:
