I should know that...
Thanks.

Good idea...thanks again.

Seems like measuring voltage across the motor while running should be done first (since it's easier). I don't know how I could check the resistance while it's running since the circuit current will interfere with the meter measurement.

However, If you try to run the motor out of the plenum , hold the motor base as it will spin hard/twist under high speeds and do not run it too long outside as the resistor needs to be cooled and it gets its cooling from the squirrel cage air flow while they are inside the plenum.

I'll check the motor before I bolt it back in, but I'm confident the blower motor is working.
