After several weeks of waiting due to my work schedule, we finally had the time to begin the PTC heater replacement on our project 2012 Leaf. A couple of things. First, has anyone ever tested the resistance of the heating element on a known working PTC heater? I'd like to compare what I have on mine (600 kilohoms, dealer says defective, despite all codes mentioning on board charger), vs the one I bought to replace it with. I did open up my old one to look for internal damage. I found a few of the terminals had popped off of the tabs for the heater, and some light discoloration. Due to how much of a process this is to replace, I would like to verify that the used part I bought is in fact a good working part (reads 5 megahoms on my multimeter).
Also, is there a means of bulletproofing these before reinstalling them. I know how to use a soldering iron, and have no hesitation to performing work on the electronics. Thanks in advance.
