Fuse links voltage

[TurboSmart]

Is normal to have ground at the fuse links?
I am tracing some weird voltage issues and noted that even with the neg battery disconnected, I have ground continuity to the neg cable from one fuse link (2 cables, one eyelet)
I do have the fuse link relocation kit.

So its either the AC or cooling fan.
Seems strange...
Any takers or sugestions other than tracing that wire?

you can if anything is connected to the battery positive source like a radio memory or the ecm orange wire
it will have continuity but should have a resistance (ohms) a good ground will have zero ohms

if you suspect a relay is the issue unplug it and eliminate it as such , the fan delay relay on driver fender is a common culprit due to internal rust causing connections of bat power with grounds and it should be disconnected and left that way

My next steps are going to be removing those "always on" systems such radio, hazzards, stop lights, cooling fan (relay) etc. to isolate the system. Either my DVOM is a piece of crap, or I have a short, as there is no resistance noted.

with hood open even the hood lamp (and trunk lamp) has a mercury switch that will complete the circuit , either remove bulb or unplug it
for eliminating taillamps you can disconnect the body connector at rear , brake switch can fail but usually it usually is open
column issues can be confirmed by unplugging main connector under dash , same for wiper switch
ac blower relay can be disconnected too as it has fuse link power to it
