It's hard to identify shorts as opposed to 'normal' readings when you are checking resistance while things are still wired into a larger circuit. Especially when motor/generator windings and such are involved.
For instance, coils and motor windings are a dead shorts to an ohm meter but offer impedance when in use. A capacitor will read 'open' to a meter but will pass an alternating current right through it.
A schematic helps. Study it and look for ways to isolate the part under test.
