A/C Compressor coil burnt up?

[gado]

There's no way a bad capacitor will give you a higher resistanc
reading
than the terminals it connects across. You've got a bad connection
somewhere.

Exactly, bad connection was at the capacitor's rusty terminals so m
meter (across the cap's terminals, not the crimp connectors) couldn'
see the low resistance of the coil through the bad connection, replace
the cap and I'm back up and running.

Thanks for all the help.
