Correct ballast resistor

You sure you are measuring the correct side, or that it is connected correctly? The dual ballast has a "U" hape opening on one end. This is to "key" the OEM harness connectors sot that it cannot be connected wrong Over the years, that "key" can break, or the connector get damaged, replaced by generic crimp on "flag" push on connectors, etc
Other side measures 5.4 ohms.
