I actually did do the test you put up. I followed your directions and the continuity was all great untill I got to where I had one multi-meter lead on the "hot" blade, and other lead on the transformer wire. The wire I was testing on the transformer was the connector that goes to the PCB board (there are 3 wires going to the board 2 reds (hot wires) and 1 black (ground) I was testing the red. I know this is pretty hard to understand but thats the best I could put it.
