I found a coil in my non-working Pink Panther that's registering .3 ohms. It looks sort of burnt compared to the other coils in my game. Is that a thing that happens? Do they literally fry? You can see it in the picture compared to the ones next to it.
Second question. What is the thing hooked up between the coil's leads? (It's in a red rectangle in the image)
Third question. Several of the coils read between 30 and 40 ohms. One other reads at 11. Why would that be?

Thanks again for your help.

Any good way to find out what diode it is?
Apologies, I am very new to this.

Thanks again

This is exactly what I need -thanks!
