Well, yeah, that was the point, that it WILL draw that much current,
which is WAY over the required hold current, and if left on very long
would probably roast the poor lil puppy. So the mystery seemed to me to
be how could it STILL measure 2ohms if all the above was true. The only
thing I could think was that the 12V wasn't applied long enough to "free
smoke". Definitely, the lack of sound wasn't the mystery; easily coulda
been stuck, just like you say, or fried as I was wondering out loud, but
then it wouldn't be measurin 2ohms no mo.

Hope that clears up the confusion. If not, it ain't worth worryin bout,
anyhoo.
