Short or Not, That is the question.

Ok, my TC is apart, engine on the stand waiting for insertion. So there I was taking out the seats so that I may put in the racing seats and discovered I needed to move the "electric" driver seat forward, hmmmm. I proceeded to connect the battery from the floor with my trickle charger to the car. Nothing happened, so I took out my ohm meter and discovered that if grounded one probe and touched the other to the battery side of the solenoid it zeroed out ? Short???
There where 4 wires on that side, so I probed each individually and found it to be the wire that essentially connects to the alternator thru a fusible link and into the firewall(also a bunch of other heavy gauge yellow wires too).
I couldnt see any damaged wires and the car ran before with no noticable electrical issue. Also didnt really change anything electrically yet.

Is this normal? If not where should I look and how else can I test it ?

Its not clear how you connected the battery to the car. If it wasn't actually connected you would get a 0 reading for voltage. You would also get a zero reading for ohms because the car is wired with positive always connected and the negative (ground) is switched. If you had voltage at the solenoid your meter would probably burn out doing a resistance test.

Thanks Don, Thas the answer I was hoping for.

It was a hot day, and the couple of beers I had helped me not to think to clearly.
