Well if by O.L. you mean they are reading infinite ohms then I think you've found a problem. Those coils should show a fairly low resistance. Try putting your meter on diode check and see if you get a beep across each winding. If no you have an open winding, that is providing your meter beeps when you touch the two probes together.
