ok, removed original resistor and ran wires to resistor from points 2 & 3.
Now when I check ohms on points 2 & 3 it's coming up 3.66K ohm.
Both on the wires and the pads.
I tested another of my 5.6K resistors and it's coming up 5.6K like it should.
Am I missing something?
No way I'm turning this on until I'm sure. :p

*Edit: removed resistor and tested, comes up 5.6K.  But still tests at 3.66K when attached with wires.
