I thought you might have. It's correct for measuring coil resistance (wires removed as you said) but not voltage. Despite how it is identified, the small coil '-' post is not a ground.

Run the calculation again with the new voltage measurement. Voltage is expected to be in the range of 13~14 volts. I expect the end result to be the same, "resistor not required."
