Dead short?

Did some checking with the ohm meter. I found one yellow wire in the ign switch harness that showed 35 ohms. The wire is separated from the other wires and has a butt splice just up from the factory connector. This makes me think there were problems before. None of the other wires in either harness in the column showed continuity to ground. Looking online, the replacement ign switch and turn signal switch seem to have different connectors than what I have. This car has two flat 8 pin connectors with round female terminals and 8 wires in each connector. Also, it seems the turn signal switch is a new Chrysler only item. Any thoughts?
