Well, I managed to get a shower at about 4AM. I caped off the wiring to the lower element & just used teh uper to heat. I know it worked the crap out of the upper, but it is just for today, so it isnt that bad.
Man, a pool would haev been soo lovely last night. I was actually thinking of going to the harbor & getting in the water.
QSD, yeah it's wiried properly. After I took off teh heater blanket, I found that the water heater is almost 25 years old. The lower element is a little rusty. I think it's starting to leak, which caused the rust & crazy high resistance.
The good news is. I can fix it for under $50. The bad news is I dont know if anyone has the parts.
I'm about to call the local dealer & see what they have.
