Not sure how to interpret your test results, but an ohm meter won't tell you much. Turn the system on and measure the voltage between the two terminals on each side of the glass. If you find 0 volts, measure from each terminal to a paint-free point on the body. If one of them has 12 volts, the other one has an open ground wire. We'll figure out which way to go next after you take those readings.
